AUSTIN, Texas – Deiveson Figueiredo is not going to call for a UFC title shot, but if it comes, he’s more than ready for the opportunity.
Figueiredo (21-3-1 MMA, 10-6 UFC) made a successful bantamweight debut Saturday when outpointed longtime contender Rob Font (20-7 MMA, 10-3-1 UFC) on the main card of UFC on ESPN 52.
