UFC Fight Night Results: Deiveson Figueiredo, Rafael Fiziev Highlight Winners

First-round submissions were the theme of the night at UFC on ESPN+ 30 as three of the five main card bouts ended in that fashion, including Deiveson Figueiredo's victory over Joseph Benavidez for the vacant flyweight title.

Figueiredo and Benavidez were supposed to fight for that belt Feb. 29, but Figueiredo did not make weight.

The fight went on, but Figueiredo was ineligible to win the title even if he won. That ended up being the case via second-round TKO, and a rematch between the two was later set up.

This time around, Figueiredo made weight, won the belt and left no doubt about who the best active flyweight in MMA is today.
