Deiveson Figueiredo has legacy on the mind.
Although it’s normal for any athlete to consider their own legacy while they are in the midst ofcrafting it, most try to reserve that kind of self-reflection for when it’s all said and done. At 37, however, the former flyweight champion understands his time remaining in the sport is finite, so as he approaches his main event matchup with Cory Sandhagen in Des Moines, he is frank about the targets he has remaining in his sights.
“I would love to be able to get the opportunity and get the title to be a double-champ one day,” Figueiredo told UFC.
