Media Deiveson Figueiredo Calls For Flyweight Title Fight vs Pantoja

[NextGen]

Not sure it would end well for him. He looked terrible against Moreno. And these cuts are just getting harder and harder on him.

Pass.

 

[flektarn]

prefer this to the cringe lord who does the haka everywhere he goes.

 

[tritestill]

The cut to flyweight was killing Figgy, he made a good move for his health moving up to bantamweight. Unforunately he likely will never become a champion up there. He likely will just have "fun fights" for the rest of his career, he will probably never hold UFC gold again. People who think Figgy can turn back the clock & become a flyweight champion again are probably the same people who thought Mike Tyson could do the same vs Jake Paul.

Seeing as it was in their contract they couldn't hurt each other, it's not good comparison there.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Not a huge fan of it but not apposed to it. I'd prefer getting Horiguchi back into the UFC but that's not likely

 

[RockyLockridge]

DO IT DO IT DO IT


Already fucked out of his BW title shot via nepotism, Don't let him lose this one too.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

Askar Askarov is the last person to beat Pantoja, not Figureido. UFC should either get Horiguchi or Hiromasa Ougikubo from RIZIN since they seem to be buddies now. Ougikubo is old himself, but at least he can make FLW reliably, is on a 2 fight win streak, has beaten Kai Asakura like 3 yrs ago, and also has a win over Pantoja.

 

[Goatenstein]

I'd rather see Cejudo get the undeserved drop-back-down title shot.

 

[Mind Mine]

Fig does what the fuck Fig wants and you’ll watch it and likely enjoy

 

[pick999]

flyweight division fell off

 

[TriangleMonkey]

This is a prime reason I don’t like dominant Champions

It will ruin the sport

its much much better when a champ defends no more than 3x and loses it. It puts them back in the mix and makes a bunch of new matches, especially top-10 fights, or new guys trying break-in

 

[CrimsonFan]

If it's this or fight Royval for a third time I guess give us the Figgy fight.

Honestly they should just give that Tiara guy Royval just beat a shot. The division is a mess Pantoja has beat everyone multiple times

Tbh I'm tired of rematches and everyone ranked from #1 to 6 is either coming off a loss or has already lost to Pantoja.

So why not Asu Almabayev (#7)?
He's on a 17-fight winning streak!

This is the moment his manager needs to start making some noise...he might get the next title shot.

how could you possibly want who ever the fuck that is more than figgy?

because Figgy is coming off a loss bruh and this other guy is on a huge winning streak.

his loss is to a former champion in a higher weight class, He's already beaten pantoja before. He's a way more proven contender than Whomever you were talking about

 

[Mammothman]

The cut would be too brutal but Prime Figgy smashes any version of Pantoja for sure.
