Moreno willing to take the shots to normalize himself into the fight. Now I think he starts landing. #UFC270

Have Moreno winning round 1 but he has to be very careful exchanging with his head high.

Figueiredo takedown entries are beautiful but finishing the takedown is a different story. I don’t think he had enough time with Triple C.

That combo after breaking the body lock was Bert smart. Moreno knew for those few seconds he had the advantage completely right there.
