Two-time flyweight world champion Deiveson Figueiredo believes he has three more years of fighting before hanging up his gloves for good.
Figueiredo, 35, will return to the Octagon for the first time this December, 11 months after completing his epic quadrilogy with Brandon Moreno. ‘Deus da Guerra’ ultimately lost the series and the flyweight world title in their final meeting, but Figueiredo is ready to begin what will be the final chapter of his illustrious career in the incredibly competitive bantamweight division.
Appearing on MMA Fighting’s Portuguese-language podcast Trocação Franca, Figueiredo revealed that he plans on calling it a career after three more years of delivering fight fans the style of scraps they’ve come to know and love him for.
