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.
On Twitter, because of Deiveson’s weight mishap, pro fighters had mixed feelings about the result.
