Deiveson Figueiredo vs Brandon Moreno Prediction | UFC 263 Odds: Flyweight champ Figueiredo has 7 stoppage victories to his name, profiting for +10.4 units on the ‘Inside the Distance’ prop since his 2017 UFC debut. He looks to make it 8 on Saturday against Brandon Moreno in a rematch of their five round epic battle from last year.
The two flyweights fought to a five-round draw back at UFC 256, after Figureido was deducted a point due to a low blow early in the contest. Figueiredo was not 100% in their first meeting, with reports coming out after the bout that he was rushed to the hospital the night before the fight due to a stomach virus caused by rehydration after weigh-ins. The fight was runner-up for ‘Fight of the Year’ and was regarded as ‘the greatest UFC men’s flyweight fight of all time’ by UFC President Dana White.

With that, support has come in heavily on Moreno, pushing him to as low as +175, with Figueiredo sitting as short as -190 at some sportsbooks.

Deiveson Figueiredo vs Brandon Moreno Prediction
If you are backing Deiveson Figueiredo in this one, the best way to do it was probably on the ‘Inside the Distance’ prop, but at the current price of +130, you’re getting little to no value for a stoppage prop against a fighter who’s never been finished. With the most recent developments involving Figueiredo barely making weight, there has been a tsunami of money that has come in on Brandon Moreno, pushing Figueiredo to as low as -192 (via 5Dimes). If you’re backing the champ in this spot, you’re better off taking the discount and staying away from any method props, as there’s no telling what path to victory ‘the God of War is going to take. There are many question marks and obstacles that Figueiredo has brought upon himself as champion, and it seems as though this might be the toughest task to date for the 33-year-old Brazillian.
If you’re backing Brandon Moreno, there’s probably a case to be made for betting the ‘Assassin Baby’ to pull off the stoppage at the price of +550. However, considering that Figueiredo himself has never been finished, you’re much better off taking the big plus moneyline rather than setting yourself up to be middled by a five-round decision. From the time this fight was announced until just a few days ago, this fight was lined unreasonably. Brandon Moreno realistically has about a 35% chance of winning this fight, which saw value on him at the price of +185 or better. Now with the most recent developments concerning Figueiredo’s condition, you might be able to make a case for betting Moreno even at the current price of +177 (via 5Dimes).
As for the betting total, while the numbers don’t necessarily agree with the market movement, it seems like a general consensus among bettors that this fight will not go the distance. When factoring in all the tangibles concerning weight-cuts, as well as fans being in attendance, you begin to understand why the oddsmakers might have had this one wrong when they put a plus sign beside the “No” on this ‘Fight Goes the Distance’ prop, which is why the market has come in and corrected that mistake. At the current price of -125 (via WilliamHill) for this one to go ‘Under 4.5 Rounds’, you’re still managing to squeak out a bit of value on a prop that should probably be closer to -150.
