Deiveson Figueiredo Within Reach Of UFC Gold
4 years agoDeiveson Figueiredo (18-1) has UFC flyweight gold within his grasp. He defeated Joseph Benavidez in February of 2019 but could not claim the vacant title because he missed weight. Figueiredo has made weight for this outing and can win the gold with a repeat performance. Fifteen of Figueiredo's 18 victories have come by finish, showing even the smaller weight classes can end the night early. He also lands a bit more significant strikes than he absorbs, connecting with 2.43 significant strikes per minute and only absorbing 2.15 per minute. Listed at $9,000 on DraftKings, he typically delivers, averaging 84.8 points her contest. If he wins, though, he's averaging 104.4 points. But will his COVID-19 contraction in May have any effect on his performance two months later?
