32-year-old Deiveson Figueiredo is one of the most significant fighters in the UFC, dominating the flyweight roster. With a record of 20-1-1, te Brazilian star is undoubtedly the best flyweight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. While on a five-match win streak, the fighter faced Brandon Moreno in a five-round scrap for the flyweight gold at UFC 256.

While both the fighters put up an amazing fight at the event, the match ended in a draw. ‘Deus da Guerra’ was transported to the hospital post-fight because of unfavorable health conditions caused by weight cuts. The UFC president Dana White hinted at this past situation in a recent interview.

During a conversation with TSN, White said, “That’s a very good point too, but on the flip side Figueiredo had to cut weight twice really, really close you know and I think that affected him in that first fight too so we will see how this thing plays out but either way that’s gonna be a Bad A** Fight!”

After being asked about the health complications faced by the fighter post-t fight White continued, “Yeah he (Figueiredo) did have food poisoning.”
