Former UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo has expressed his renewed hunger and determination to reclaim a world title within the promotion.
Figueiredo is set to face Song Yadong in a significant bantamweight bout at UFC Macau. A victory in this fight would help silence critics who have questioned his ability to compete at the highest level, particularly after suffering three losses in his last four appearances.
Despite recent setbacks, Figueiredo’s past accomplishments, especially his memorable rivalries with Brandon Moreno that cemented his status as flyweight king, remain a testament to his fighting legacy. However, the bantamweight division is currently highly competitive, presenting no easy matchups.
In a recent interview, Figueiredo shared his thoughts on his future with the Ultimate Fighting Championship:

“A lot has changed in my life, not just mentally,” Figueiredo stated. “I need to approach everything correctly now. I used to sometimes stray from the right path, but now I need to stay focused and disciplined to make my way back to the title.”
“This is a fresh start,” he continued. “I must do things properly, get back to winning, and continue my journey towards the championship belt.”
“I feel 100 percent ready,” Figueiredo affirmed. “My mindset is right, I feel good, and everything is in order. I’m confident I’ll be able to showcase my best performance on Saturday.”
The Brazilian fighter is poised to make a powerful statement in his upcoming fight.
