DEIVESON FIGUEIREDO

Representing Brazil, Deiveson Figueiredo established himself as a prominent figure in mixed martial arts through two separate reigns as the flyweight world champion. His professional background highlights an aggressive approach complemented by strong wrestling skills. Having achieved notable victories over athletes like Brandon Moreno, Joseph Benavidez, and Cody Garbrandt during his lengthy tenure in the lower weight class, he eventually transitioned to the bantamweight division in 2023. He currently trains with the Fight Ready team.

Entering the card with an overall record of 25-7-1, the Brazilian faces a challenging stretch in his recent performances. His previous five appearances include a submission defeat against Song Yadong followed by a unanimous decision loss to Umar Nurmagomedov. Before those outcomes, he secured a split decision win over Montel Jackson. His earlier contests saw him fall to Cory Sandhagen via injury and Petr Yan through judges' scores.
