Former flyweight champion (up to 56,7kg) of the UFC, Deiveson Figueiredo was not intimidated by the statements of aljamain sterling, who doubted his success in the bantamweight division. The Brazilian, who will have his first fight in the new category against Rob font in December, he stated that he has the heart of a lion and is ready to face any challenge.
In an interview with the Trocação Franca podcast, Deiveson responded to criticism from Sterling, who bet on the “God of War” losing to Font due to his physical disadvantage. The North American, who lost the bantamweight belt to Sean O'Malley in August, said that Font will “turn off the lights” of Figueiredo.
“No one is unbeatable in this division, right? aljamain sterling saw in his last fight, 'Suga' (Sean O'Malley) touched his head and fell. There is caution in all fights. Rob font can put me to sleep as much as I can make him sleep, you know? There are two heavy trucks colliding. I have the heart of a lion and you can be sure that I will go there to do my best”, said Figueiredo.

The man from Pará, who lost the flyweight title to Brandon Moreno In January, he revealed that he feels happier and healthier in the new division, without needing to cut so much weight. He also said that he hired sleep scientists to improve his performance and that he plans to retire in three years.
the fight between Deiveson Figueiredo e Rob font is scheduled for December 2nd, in a UFC “Fight Night” event with no location yet defined.
