All right for UFC Des Moines. On the morning of this Friday (2), the 24 athletes scheduled for the first Ultimate card in the capital of the state of Iowa, in the United States, went through the challenge against the scale and confirmed the 12 fights of the event this Saturday (3), with emphasis on the confrontation between Cory Sandhagen e Deiveson Figueiredo.

Former flyweight champion (up to 56,7 kg), Deiveson Figueiredo was the first to weigh in, dispelling any concerns from fans by reaching the 'championship weight' for bantamweights, weighing in at 61,2 kg. Minutes later, Cory Sandhagen used half a pound of tolerance, allowed in fights that are not worth the belt, to measure 61,4 kg and confirm the main fight of the UFC Des Moines.
