What’s more – he’s a two-time UFC Flyweight Champion. Apart from that, ‘Deus da Guerra’ also won the 57 kg (125 lbs) category in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Northeast Brazil championship.

The 36-year-old champion has definitely made a mark for himself in the sport. But none of this would have been possible without the tremendous support he gets from his family.

With such high stakes of fighting for the world’s premier MMA promotion, even Figueiredo needs someone to rely upon. Arguably, the biggest support system for him is his partner, Bruno Moraes. While he is one of the most dangerous fighters inside the octagon, in his personal life, he is very humble.

‘Deus da Guerra’ is married to his long-term girlfriend, Bruno Moraes. The couple tied the knot in a private lavish ceremony which was attended by their close friends and family. Not much is known about Moraes as she prefers to keep herself out of the spotlight that comes with being the wife of a UFC star. But online sources indicate that the pair have been together since 2015 and she resides in Brazil, taking care of her family. 

For many, family is the ultimate anchor—a reminder of why we fight, dream, and persevere. For Deiveson Figueiredo, the former UFC flyweight champion, his family isn’t just a source of strength. It’s his reason for everything.
