The future of the UFC flyweight division seems uncertain right now, but that won’t stop the company from booking more flyweight bouts.
Jussier Formiga, ranked No. 1 in the 125-pound weight class, is set to face off against fellow Brazilian Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC Nashville on March 23, multiple sources told MMA Fighting. Combate first reported the news.
Formiga (22-5) got to the top of the flyweight rankings after winning three in a row, submitting Ulka Sasaki and Ben Nguyen before scoring a decision win over Sergio Pettis in October.
