From Demetrious Johnson to Henry Cejudo, the UFC's flyweight division is no stranger to dominant champions. Deiveson Figueiredo used UFC 255 to show he may be the next in that line with a first-round submission win over Alex Perez in the main event on Saturday.
Figueiredo is typically known for his power but also has eight submissions to his name. It was that skill he got to showcase in the spotlight as Perez left a small opening in a transition and the champion jumped on the opportunity.
Perez fought to get out of the hold but was quickly tapping out, a testament to Figueiredo's strength.
