A failed weight cut cost Deiveson Figueiredo the undisputed Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight title on February, as his second-round technical knockout of Joseph Benavidez rang hollow due to his lack of eligibility. Now, he gets his mulligan.

Figueiredo rematches Benavidez for the still-vacant 125-pound crown in the UFC Fight Night 172 main event on Saturday at the Flash Forum in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, where the winner will join Demetrious Johnson and Henry Cejudo as the third flyweight champion in the promotion’s history.
