UFC 290 Fight Card: Prediction & Preview, Date & Location, Tickets, Poster, Odds, Start Time

Here is the full fight card and everything you need to know about UFC 290 which will take place on July 8, 2023, at the T-Mobile Arena facility in Paradise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area, United States. ## The event will feature a highly anticipated UFC Featherweight Championship unification bout between reigning champion Alexander Volkanovski and the interim champion, Yair Rodríguez, who also holds the distinction of being The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America featherweight winner. ## Another major highlight of the event will be the anticipated UFC Flyweight Championship showdown between current titleholder Brandon Moreno and Alexandre Pantoja. The two had previously faced off in an exhibition bout during The Ultimate Fighter: Tournament of Champions, which Pantoja won via second-round submission. They also locked horns at UFC Fight Night: Maia vs. Usman in 2018, where Pantoja earned a unanimous decision victory. ## In addition, a pivotal UFC Middleweight title eliminator is scheduled for the event, pitting former champion Robert Whittaker against former KSW Welterweight Champion Dricus du Plessis. The winner of this matchup will undoubtedly be in a strong position to challenge for the middleweight championship. ## Furthermore, a lightweight bout between Jalin Turner and Dan Hooker is expected to provide a thrilling showcase of technical prowess and explosive striking. The two were previously scheduled to face off at UFC 285, but the fight was called off due to an injury suffered by Hooker. ## Unfortunately, a flyweight bout between Deiveson Figueiredo, a former two-time UFC Flyweight Champion, and former Rizin Bantamweight Champion Manel Kape, had to be cancelled after Figueiredo was not cleared by medical officials to compete. It remains to be seen if the promotion will seek out a replacement opponent for Kape. ## UFC 290 Promotion: Ultimate Fighting Championship ## UFC 290 Date: July 8, 2023## UFC 290 Venue: T-Mobile Arena ## UFC 290 City: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States ## For more and the latest news about UFC Event, stay tuned to us.

UFC 270 Results: Brandon Moreno Vs. Deiveson Figueiredo Full Fight & Winner

Newly crowned UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno runs it back with former titleholder Deiveson Figueiredo in the co-main event. ## The pairing first met at UFC 256 on December 12, 2020, which ended in a majority draw (Figueiredo retained the title). Their second meeting took place at UFC 263 on June 12, 2021, where Moreno captured the title by submission in the third round. ## The main card will kick off at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT. ## Brandon Moreno Vs. Deiveson Figueiredo Full Fight ## First Round: Both men close the distances early to maybe take some of that size away. Figueiredo with low calf kick, but doesn't land. Brandon with goes for a clinch against the fence, the crowd is loud, Figueiredo switches, he has over hook. But still not so much offense. They separate now, working in the middle. Figueiredo with a Jab, Brandon swings a left followed by a sneaky kick. Brandon trades a massive right hand, Figueiredo looks hurt now. ## Brandon goes for a couple of jabs, but Figueiredo ducks and goes right after his back, both back to the middle, Brandon not landing a lot either, just some kicks, but no word who is in winning on activity. ## Second Round: Brandon was very composed in that first round and started to take control near the end. That could be bad for Figueiredo who has never been a tactical genius. The second round starts off, Figueiredo catches Brandon's leg for a takedown but doesn't get it. Figueiredo is looking more fired up in the second round. Figueiredo is working really well at those calf kicks. ## Brandon lands a calf kick of his own, Figueiredo swings a spinning back kick, but Brandon instead catches and gets him down. That was a beautiful scramble. Both are once again in the middle, Both are exchanging Low calf kicks. Two settle into a ranged fight, Figueiredo with a big right hand, that apparently hurts Brandon. This time Brandon comes in and connects with his own strikes. Both guys go high, but are unable to land, the round ends here. ## Third Round: Perhaps more concerning is how tired they looked at the end of the second thought. We are live into the third round, Brandon tries a running knee, but Figueiredo instead catches and gets a takedown. Quick work for Brandon to get back on his feet. Figueiredo stuns Brandon with a massive right hand. Figueiredo just blows another left hand. He got the momentum.

Deiveson Figueiredo Why Henry Cejudo Would Want To Be By His Side For His Trilogy Match With Brandon Moreno At UFC 270

Daveson Figueredo will have teammate Henry Cejudo from his former rival when he seeks revenge on Brandon Moreno at UFC 270 on January 22. ## Speaking on this week's episode of MMA Fighting's Portuguese-language podcast Trocação Franca, Figueiredo illustrated why the former two-division UFC would want to be by his side for his trilogy match with King Moreno, who has teamed up with Cejudo in the past. had taken training. ## “Brandon Moreno is dirty — that’s all I have to say about him,” Figueiredo said. “He’s dirty. He’s a traitor. When I came to Scottsdale, [Ariz. at the Fight Ready gym,] Henry Cejudo told me about his betrayal. He lived with Henry Cejudo here and then became [Joseph] Benavidez’s sparring partner to fight Cejudo, so that was his biggest betrayal. ## “That’s why Cejudo is coming with me [to the fight], to look into his eyes. Cejudo will be in my corner to look at this little punk’s face, and I’ll knock him out. Mark my words.” ## “I’m glad to have him by my side,” said Figueiredo, who previously fought to a draw with Moreno before losing the rematch via submission. “That gives me self-confidence. I’m 100 percent focused on this fight, brother. I can’t wait to go back to Brazil and take this belt with me. The fire is burning inside me to enter that octagon and get over with it already.” ## “Every predator is calm and patience before he attacks the prey,” Figueiredo said. “I’ve always wanted to go for the kill from start to finish. I got in there to knock them out.” ## “Just be patient, and [the UFC] will give him the fight and the purse he’s asking for,” Figueiredo said. “He deserves it, too. Guy has a name. It’s all about numbers, right? He’s working non-stop, staying in shape. He’s moved up a division, so he can’t look thin like people think, he has to adapt to this new weight. Numbers will decide. Lock the cage [if they ever reach a deal] and he’ll be there inside the octagon.” ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
