Deiveson Figueiredo expects late finish of Yadong Song at UFC Macau

Former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo faces Yadong Song in the UFC Macau headliner on Saturday as he attempts to reverse recent struggles. Figueiredo has lost three of his last four fights and is looking to regain form against Song. The Brazilian fighter is preparing a different approach for this Macau event compared to his previous appearance in the city during 2024. Figueiredo split his training camp between two camps—The Fighting Nerds in São Paulo and Pitbull Brothers—spending two weeks at each. He credited Jean Silva and Pablo Sucupira from The Fighting Nerds with devising his fight strategy against Song. The bout represents a critical moment for the veteran as he seeks to reignite his career at bantamweight.
