The story
Ahead of his co-main event bout against Payton Talbott at UFC 332, Deiveson Figueiredo stated he has requested a return to the flyweight division. The 38-year-old fighter claimed he can make the 125-pound weight limit easily and is eager to test his boxing skills against the current champion, Joshua Van.
Figueiredo also offered his perspective on the recent UFC 331 title fight between Van and Alexandre Pantoja. He suggested that Pantoja’s strategy was flawed, arguing that Pantoja should have prioritized grappling over striking during the contest.
