Former undisputed flyweight champion, Deiveson Figueiredo has offered former foe and compatriot, Alexandre Pantoja a chance to avenge a 2019 defeat in the form of a division comeback — claiming he would fully commit to a comeback to his prior stomping ground twice over.
Figueiredo, who most recently headlined UFC Fight Night Macau last month, suffered his first defeat since his bantamweight move a year ago — in a high-stakes back-and-forth fight with former champion, Petr Yan.
The defeat brought an end to a three-fight winning run at bantamweight for the Brazilian, who had racked up a pair of decision wins over Rob Font and former title challenger, Marlon Vera — in between a submission victory against former champion, Cody Garbrandt.
