UFC: Deiveson Figueiredo wants a shot at Henry Cejudo

Henry Cejudo is recently coming off of the biggest win of his MMA career against Demetrius Johnson at UFC 227 in the staples center in Los Angeles.

With him winning a UFC Flyweight title, he is now under the radar of undefeated flyweight Deiveson Figueiredo who is on a four-fight fight winning streak.

Figueiredo believes his résumé already should merit a shot at the new flyweight champion Henry Cejudo, a fight in which he says would be easy work:

“Hard training, easy fight. I go there for the kill,” Figueiredo told MMA Fighting. “That’s exactly how I envisioned myself knocking him out, man. I watched his fights, studied him, and saw that he always gasses after the first round, so I knew I would be able to finish the fight in the second.

“Knocking out the No. 6 flyweight gets me some power, I can ask for fights now. I knocked out someone that is hard to finish.”

A fight between Cejudo and Figueiredo is really compelling and it’s going to be a clash of style.
