The UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo was bummed to learn that former bantamweight title-holder Cody Garbrandt would not be challenging him for the belt in November, following a recent bicep injury. ‘No Love’ was forced to leave the UFC 255 card to rehab his arm, but was quickly replaced by rising contender Alex Perez.
Despite the new opponent, in an interview with Ag Fight, ‘Deus da Guerra’ revealed that he’s still got his eye on the former bantamweight king. Even going so far as to wish Garbrandt a speedy recovery, just so Figueiredo can have the chance to KO him in the Octagon.
