The Brazilian fighter used a lethal mataleón to close his victory on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.
Deiveson Figueiredo proved forceful in defeating Joseph Benavidez this Saturday in the UFC Fight Island 2 all-star fight, sporting his resources over the octagon on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi to conquer the company's flyweight title.

 

The Brazilian fighter complicated his rival with a notable right hand when he was about to finish the first round of the fight and did not allow him to react until applying a lethal mataleón.

Figueiredo showed that his invalidated victory over Benavidez at the beginning of the year was not a coincidence. This time he met the pace of the division, won the American with solvency and acquired the belt that Henry Cejudo vacated for a new champion.

I'm very happy. I knew my time was coming, I will prepare to defend this title. I am a person who prepares very hard for everything in the octagon. I wanted to belt my people in Brazil. I said I was going to finish it in the first round and I did so, "he said after submitting his opponent.

"I feel like I have died 100 times ... What is one more? I know I did everything right. He was the best. It is a blessing to do it again, to have the opportunity. I am blessed, ”added Benavidez.
