Deiveson Figueiredo wants to show ‘fragile’ Cody Gabrandt why he shouldn’t have ‘cut the line’

Newly crowned UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo is not pleased with who his first title challenger will be, but will comply anyway.

After beating Joseph Benavidez for the second time and winning the vacant belt at UFC Fight Night 172, ‘Deus da Guerra’ is now paired up against former bantamweight champ Cody Gabrandt. However, the Brazilian does not feel like ‘No Love’ earned his shot.

In an interview with Ag Fight, Deiveson said he is ready to make an example out of Garbrandt for people who geat ahead of fighters more deserving of a title shot.
