Deiveson 'Deus da Guerra' (God of War) Figueiredo is one of the rare small-weight fighters who carries genuine, fight-ending power. He rose out of Brazil to win the UFC flyweight title and headlined an unforgettable four-fight rivalry with Brandon Moreno - one of the best trilogies-plus the sport has seen.
His style is all violent intent: heavy hands, a dangerous guillotine, and a willingness to swing for the finish early. After his flyweight run, he moved up to bantamweight and immediately made noise with wins over Cody Garbrandt, Marlon Vera and Rob Font, though he's since hit tougher waters against Petr Yan, Cory Sandhagen and Umar Nurmagomedov. His record sits around 25-6-1.
For newcomers, Figueiredo is proof that the lighter divisions can deliver brutal knockouts. His weight-cutting struggles at 125 frustrated some fans, but at bantamweight he's been a live threat against anyone in the rankings.
Why fans love Figueiredo
Genuine knockout power, a thrilling rivalry with Moreno, and a fearless, finish-first mentality.
Why some fans hate Figueiredo
Repeated weight-cutting issues at flyweight, including a missed weight ahead of a title bout, frustrated some fans before his move to bantamweight.
