Deiveson Figueiredo Faces Petr Yan in Pivotal UFC Macau Bout

The former flyweight champion seeks to secure a second title in a new weight class after a dominant run at bantamweight.

Deiveson Figueiredo, a former UFC flyweight champion, is set to fight ex-bantamweight champion Petr Yan at UFC Macau, aiming to solidify his path to a second title at 135 pounds.
Figueiredo, known as 'Deus da Guerra' or 'God of War,' adopted his nickname as a nod to the ferocity of the video game character Kratos, whom he emulates with his fighting style and appearance.
The Brazilian fighter holds a record of 24-3-1 and has achieved three consecutive wins since moving up to the bantamweight division, including victories over notable opponents like Cody Garbrandt and Marlon Vera.
Figueiredo credits his family, including his wife Bruno Moraes and their three children, as his primary motivation and source of strength throughout his career.
A win against Yan could position Figueiredo as a top contender for the bantamweight title, with current champion Merab Dvalishvili already expressing interest in a potential matchup.
