Deiveson Figueiredo is set to compete at UFC Macau on May 30, with the Brazilian veteran expressing confidence ahead of what he expects to be a strong performance at the event, which airs live on Paramount Plus.
Figueiredo, nicknamed "Deus da Guerra," enters the card as the fifth-ranked fighter in the bantamweight division. The 38-year-old from Brazil carries a professional record of 25-6-1 and brings a well-rounded skill set to the cage. Standing five-foot-five with a 68-inch reach, he works out of an orthodox stance and trains under Team Figueiredo. His game blends striking with a persistent ground attack — he lands 2.63 significant strikes per minute at a 53 percent accuracy rate, while also averaging 1.61 takedowns and 1.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes, making him a threat across all phases of a fight.
Why it matters
- Figueiredo sits at number five in the bantamweight rankings, meaning a commanding performance in Macau could push him closer to title contention.
- His combination of takedown pressure and submission volume gives him a multi-dimensional threat profile that few opponents can comfortably prepare for.
- At 38, he will be looking to make a statement that his place among the division's elite remains firmly intact.
