Both the fighters are heavy-handed stand-up specialists who love to engage in all-out firefights. Not to mention, they have a significant propensity to secure the Knockout blow and put their opponent onto the canvas. Chiefly, the MMA community was excited to hear of the announcement of the Flyweight title fight.

Cody Garbrandt vs Deiveson Figueiredo

‘No Love’ has captured the imagination of fight fans with his ability to seek the finish and brawl with his opponents. However, he has also displayed his skillset to stand-up and trade elegantly as seen in his fight against Dominick Cruz. Additionally, he holds wins over some of the best fighters that the UFC’s Bantamweight division currently has on offer.

His scraps against T.J Dillashaw temporarily derailed his momentum as he lost two straight fights to his former teammate. Moreover, he was KO’ed against Pedro Munhoz in a fight that surprised the MMA world as a whole. Questions began to crop up regarding his ability to withstand punishment at 135-pounds.

The newly minted Flyweight king in Deiveson Figueiredo will be keen to secure a win over the former champion in Garbrandt. Fans and analysts are high off his most recent performance against a top-ranked contender in Joe Benavidez. “Deus da Guerra” snagged an incredibly dominant win over Benavidez in their outing.

Additionally, should he manage to scalp a win over Cody, he will certainly become a household name. The power he possesses in both his hands is truly intimidating at 125-pounds and Garbrandt will have to be wary. The MMA world has been laying in wait to watch him return to the cage and observe his growth.

The two athletes appear to be developing a distaste for each other as the fight will eventually draw near. The high stakes nature of the bout is seemingly enough for both competitors to gun for each other from the outset.
