Turning up for an early morning fight card, the UFC travels to China to put on an exciting show in Macau. Headlining the event are two former champions from separate weight classes, as previous flyweight wrecking ball Deiveson Figueiredo locks horns with Russian boxing specialist Petr Yan.
Since moving up to 135 lbs. last December, Figueiredo has rattled off three straight wins over some of the division’s finest Rob Font, Cody Garbrandt, and Marlon Vera. With a win in the main event over Yan, “Deus Da Guerra” hopes to slot himself into a prime position to challenge for the title sometime next year.
