The UFC continues bringing events from outside the United States with two already having taken place in the past seven days.

UFC 251 and UFC on ESPN: Kattar vs Ige were grand successes, and the UFC brings up Fight Night: Figueiredo vs Benavidez 2 on 19 July 2020.

Deiveson Figueiredo has only lost one fight in his MMA career (UFC)

This features a rematch between Deiveson Figueiredo and Joseph Benavidez for the vacant UFC Flyweight title. The pair met in December 2019 for the title after Henry Cejudo vacated it.

Figueiredo won that clash against Benavidez but couldn’t get the crown because he missed weight. There has been more drama regarding the clash again this time with Figueiredo testing positive for Covid-19.

However, he passed a recent test and travelled to the location of the fight, but will have to take the test again before he is allowed into the Octagon.
