BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Brandon Moreno 2:

Jack Hermansson, UFC middleweight: I think Figueiredo. He would’ve won the first fight had it not been for the point deduction. It’s a great fight.

Eryk Anders, UFC middleweight: I think Brandon Moreno becomes the new champ. He will use his wrestling and volume to tire out Figueiredo and win a decision.

Steven Peterson, UFC featherweight: I was impressed by the first fight and I think Figueiredo will make the adjustments and get the win.

Matt Frevola, UFC lightweight: I like Moreno. He has been an underdog his whole life and has a great story. His cardio and volume should be the difference.

Frank Camacho, UFC lightweight: I think Figueiredo wins and does so by stoppage.

Youssef Zalal, UFC featherweight: That should be a scrap. I think it will be another close one and go the distance but Figueiredo will win it.

Sean Woodson, UFC featherweight: I’m going with Figueiredo. I think if Moreno was going to beat him it had to be on that quick turnaround and in that first fight. With a full camp and being prepared I think Figueiredo will defend his belt.

TJ Brown, UFC featherweight: Brandon Moreno. He will survive the early rounds and win the last three to win a decision.

Christos Giagos, UFC lightweight: Man, I think Moreno. He showed in the first fight, he can survive the power and I think he takes the last three rounds to win a decision.

Danny Sabatello, Bellator bantamweight: I think Figueiredo gets it done. The last fight that he has was awesome, but the champ will make the adjustments and finish him.
