DEIVESON FIGUEIREDO

A native of Soure, Pará, Deiveson Figueiredo cemented his legacy in the sport by capturing the UFC Flyweight Championship on two distinct occasions. His combat background, rooted in capoeira and wrestling, eventually led him to transition into the bantamweight class in 2023. Throughout his career, the Brazilian has defeated notable names like Cody Garbrandt, Alex Perez, Marlon Vera, and Joseph Benavidez. Now training at Fight Ready, he continues to be recognized for a relentless, high-pressure style of fighting.

Boasting a lifetime professional record of 25-7-1, the veteran fighter is preparing for his upcoming bout at UFC Fight Night: du Plessis vs. Usman. His recent form has been inconsistent; after suffering consecutive losses to Petr Yan and Cory Sandhagen, he briefly recovered by defeating Montel Jackson via split decision in October 2025. He heads into this event looking to reverse the momentum of his most recent defeats at the hands of Song Yadong and Umar Nurmagomedov.
