Francisco Figueiredo, the younger brother of UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo, will be joining him in the promotion. His manager, Wallid Ismail, announced the signing on social media.
Ismail spoke to Guilherme Cruz of MMA Fighting and said that Figueiredo will likely make his promotional debut sometime in 2021, but the details of his first appearance inside the Octagon still need to be worked out.
The signing of Figueiredo should come as no surprise considering the eldest Figueiredo has lobbied for his brother to get signed by the UFC in recent weeks.
