‘Flyweight is not for him’ - Deiveson Figueiredo says Cody Garbrandt should stay at bantamweight

Deiveson Figueiredo was previously interested in how Cody Garbrandt would fare competing at flyweight. However, after seeing his disastrous debut against Kai Kara-France at UFC 269 last December, ‘Deus da Guerra’ has shared a word of advice for ‘No Love’ regarding his future: return to bantamweight and stay there.

The former UFC flyweight champion joined Guilherme Cruz of MMA Fighting on an edition of Trocação Franca and said that Garbrandt should stop cutting additional weight from now on and consider options at higher weight classes for his next fight.

“I really expected more,” said Figueiredo.
