Demetrious Johnson captured the inaugural UFC flyweight title in January 2013 with a split-decision win over Joseph Benavidez. Johnson held that title until he dropped a split decision to Henry Cejudo in 2018. During the time he reigned over the 125-pound division, Johnson defended the title 11 consecutive times, which is a UFC record for any weight division. Cejudo defended the flyweight belt once before dropping it to concentrate on competing in the bantamweight division. On Saturday, Deiveson Figueiredo, who claimed the vacant 125-pound crown in July with a submission win over Benavidez, looks to defend his title against Alex Perez.
