The flyweight division is being steered by the recently minted belt holder, Deiveson Figueiredo. The undisputed champion possesses a significant threat to the divisional contenders by virtue of his brute strength at 125-pounds. What’s more, he has proven himself to be a formidable puzzle to figure out for any stand-up fighter.

Royval might be an interesting stylistic enigma that the flyweight division is in dire need of. He has shown his prowess on the ground and has displayed ferocious stand-up to boot. The UFC will be keen to push him towards contention in a relatively thin division as it currently stands.
