Deiveson Figueiredo has accumulated one of the better resumes in the flyweight division thus far during his Ultimate Fighting Championship tenure.

The Brazilian bolstered his record on Saturday night with a first-round submission of Tim Elliott in a preliminary 125-pound affair. The 31-year-old Marajo Brothers Team representative has now won six of his seven Octagon appearances and 17 of his 18 professional fights overall.
