Figueiredo has had a career-defining year in 2020. He fought for the flyweight title twice and won both times. He didn't actually get the belt the first time he beat Joseph Benavidez because he missed weight, but he got the strap when he won the rematch with another first-round submission.
To recap, the Brazilian is now 3-0 with all three fights for a championship, and he earned the finish in all three of them. Now he's looking to add one more bullet point to his resume before closing out the year.
"It's amazing to me, everything I was able to do this year and everything that happened," Figueiredo said, per Ben Fowlkes of The Athletic.
