“In fact, I was born with this mental preparation. I'm a very calm guy. I like to go cold and calculated in my fights. I know very well what I'm going to do to neutralize the game of Joseph Benavidez. I'm going to retire Benavidez. His age is already advanced for the event. So I'm going to knock him out. And he will be knocked out well so he can retire, for sure”, said the Brazilian.
In addition to the victory, Figueiredo also envisions promoting a great spectacle for the public that follows his challenges in MMA. For Deiveson, the desire is to become a champion who excites sports fans with great performances.
“This belt is just the beginning of my career. There will be much more after this. The show I put on inside the Octagon is what the public wants to see. Everyone goes crazy in the arenas when they see me. I fight to kill, I don't fight to play. So, whoever is going to fight me, know that it will be a war inside that cage (octagon)”, said the man from Pará.
Deiveson arrives for the UFC Norfolk coming off a two-game winning streak. The athletes achieved the status of challengers after the former champion, Henry Cejudo, losing his position due to inactivity, in addition to signaling that he intended to defend his second belt, the bantamweight belt (up to 61,2kg.).
