Jussier Formiga unfazed by Deiveson Figueiredo’s win streak: ‘He didn’t face really tough guys’

UFC flyweight contender Jussier Formiga can’t say he’s too impressed by his next opponent’s feats.

Scheduled to take on undefeated Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC Nashville, the 33-year-old told Combate that Figueiredo hasn’t really faced the best competition the weight class has to offer just yet.

In fact, Formiga revealed he was actually expecting the result of Henry Cejudo’s fight against T.J. Dillashaw before he made decision on what fight to take next, but decided not to wait for too long and took the offer to fight Deiveson, which Jussier believes to be a good match-up for himself.
