Taking in last night’s headliner between Sean O’Malley and Merab Dvalishvili at Noche UFC, former undisputed flyweight champion, Deiveson Figueiredo now has sights firmly set on an end-of-year bantamweight title charge at UFC 310 in December.
Figueiredo, the current number five ranked bantamweight contender, most recently turned in his third straight win at 135lbs last December earlier this summer, turning in a one-sided unanimous decision win over title challenger, Marlon Vera — becoming the first fighter to score a knockdown on the Ecuadorian in the process.
