Deiveson Figueiredo is one of the current champions in the UFC and showed off some incredible custom Reebok sneakers

UFC Flyweight Champion Deiveson Figueiredo will be in action at UFC 256 after defending his title a month back.

Figueiredo had beaten Alex Perez in sensational fashion with a guillotine choke but accepted his next title defence just after that battle.

The God of War, as the Brazilian is called, will face Brandon Moreno at UFC 256 and he is a bit of a favourite for the title.

The Brazilian has been excellent since coming to the UFC, and recently showed off some incredible custom Reebok sneakers.

A few pairs were made for the Brazilian which also featured the God of War character, Kratos, and a lot more.

It will be interesting to see if Figueiredo wears the sneakers before coming out to fight at UFC 256. He does have a red streak of hair, similar to the mark that Kratos has.

God of War is one of the greatest games to have come out in recent years and the recent version is certainly a game that everyone needs to play.

Gunning for another win

Figueiredo might have picked up the title a little late in his career, but he has been devastating in the promotion.

The 32-year-old is ranked #11 in the pound-for-pound rankings but he has made the Flyweight division relevant again.

The Brazilian does seem to be a good bet for the fight against Moreno. However, former UFC champion Henry Cejudo has backed Moreno to cause a shock.

Moreno and Cejudo have trained in the past and it will be interesting to see how the title fight goes.

The God of War certainly has a lot going for him and he could dominate Moreno like he has all his rivals.
