Brazil’s Deiveson Figueiredo continues to make strides in his new bantamweight division. In April, he scored a victory against former divisional king Cody Garbrandt at UFC 300. Figueiredo submitted Garbrandt in the second round to maintain his immaculate record in the 135-pound division.
This victory by Figueiredo confirms that he’s still a top name in online sports betting through UFC odds, but when will the former two-time flyweight king be back inside the Octagon?

“Deus da Guerra” initially trained in his gym in Brazil alongside his Team Figueiredo teammates Francisco Figueiredo (also his brother), Priscila Cachoeira and Zarah Fairn Dos Santos, who is also competing in the UFC.
But after a successful training camp in the lead-up to his UFC 270 title bout, Deiveson Figueiredo has since moved to Fight Ready Team, which is headlined by former two-division world champion Henry Cejudo alongside other coaches Eddie Cha, Santino Defranco and Angel Cejudo.
