They said what?! Pros react to Deiveson Figueiredo’s KO of Joseph Benavidez at UFC Norfolk

He is still not the champion, but he made sure Joseph Benavidez would not be, too.

After failing to make the flyweight mark by 2.5 pounds at the UFC Norfolk’s official weigh-ins, Deiveson Figueiredo came into the fight on a mission to put Benavidez always with violence, and that’s what he did, picking up a vicious knockout win in the second round of the fight.
