Best moments of Deiveson Figueiredo vs Alex Perez at UFC 255
Flyweight champion since July this year, when he ran over Joseph Benavidez, Deiveson Figueiredo led UFC 255 and submitted Alex Pérez to the guillotine, with only 1m57s of combat, successfully defending his position and challenging Brandon Moreno still in the octagon. The “God of War”, who lives in Belém do Pará, will remain with his team in Las Vegas to prepare for the crash.
