Deiveson Figueiredo’s 2021 wishlist: PPV points, 130-pound ‘BMF’ belt vs. Henry Cejudo

Deiveson Figueiredo is eager for more fights and money in 2021.

The flyweight king aims to once again enter the octagon four times next year after going 3-0-1 under the bright lights of the UFC in 2020, but would appreciate a bump in pay for his next title defenses.

Figueiredo successfully defended his throne with a first-round win over Alex Perez at UFC 255 on Nov. 21, and immediately agreed to a quick 21-day turnaround against Brandon Moreno in the main event of UFC 256. Figueiredo and Moreno fought to a majority draw, which meant no win bonus for either.
