Deiveson Figueiredo is undoubtedly one of the best flyweight fighters in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The Brazilian holds a stellar record of 19-1-0 in his MMA career. What’s more – he holds a lot of records to his name, prominently the title of the ex-UFC Flyweight Champion. Apart from that, the Brazilian has also won the 57 kg Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Northeast Brazil championship. The former champ now has the opportunity to continue his legacy at UFC 300 against Cody Garbrandt.

The 32-year-old champion had definitely made a mark for himself in the sport. But none of this wouldn’t have been possible without the tremendous support he gets from his wife and his family. The Brazilian champion has been quite vocal about his personal life and dedicates all his victories to his family and wife.

The Brazilian fighter had quickly risen to the top of the flyweight division. What’s more – his move to the Bantamweight division has also proved to be a well-placed bet. With such high stakes, even Figueiredo needs someone to rely upon. Arguably, the biggest support system for him is his partner, Bruno Moraes. The God of War is one of the most dangerous fighters inside the octagon, but 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.

The couple gave birth to their son Benicio in March 2019, and the Brazilian fighter has never shied away from showering his love for him. This is what the 32-year-old said in one of his interviews with FanSided:- “I just think about making a better life for my family, I’m gonna be proud for my country. But the most important, without MMA-UFC, is changing the lives of the people [in it].

“This sport is a great way to have a better life. I think about my family–the struggle I’ve had in my life. I feel so powerful. This makes me powerful. My family, my background. I want to show that everybody in the world can do it.”

“I was really happy when I signed with the UFC,” “It really started to change my life. And when I signed my second contract I started to focus on being the champion. Because I beat the first three guys too easily. Even on the second contract, my family felt I could fight for the belt.

“The UFC changed my life. I grew up on a farm in the islands in the extreme north of Brazil. The UFC has been amazing. When I beat everyone so easy I said, ‘Now I want to be the champion.’ Everything is coming at the right time.”
