DEIVESON FIGUEIREDO

Hailing from Brazil, this veteran established himself as a dominant force while securing the UFC Flyweight Championship twice. His resume features high-profile victories against prominent contenders like Brandon Moreno, Alex Perez, and Joseph Benavidez. Throughout his tenure, he became widely recognized for his aggressive finishing nature, consistently securing stoppages through both striking and ground maneuvers. After long years competing in the 125-pound division, he transitioned to bantamweight in 2023. He currently conducts his fight preparations at the Fight Ready facility.

Entering this bout with an overall professional mark of 25-7-1, he faces a difficult stretch of competition. His most recent appearance resulted in a submission loss to Song Yadong via guillotine choke. Prior to that setback, he dropped a unanimous decision to Umar Nurmagomedov. He also suffered losses to Petr Yan and Cory Sandhagen, though he did earn a split decision victory against Montel Jackson in late 2025.
