UFC Fight Night 168 features a rare title bout when Joseph Benavidez looks to win the vacant flyweight belt against challenger Deiveson Figueiredo. You can only watch this UFC stream on ESPN+.
Figueiredo missed weight, which means he’ll forfeit 30% of his purse and can’t actually win the belt even if he wins the fight. Benavidez opened up with his thoughts on his opponent missing weight by nearly three pounds, laying down some great pre-fight smack talk.
“He wasn’t going to ever win the belt, anyway,” Benavidez said per MMAJunkie.
There’s also a toss-up at women’s featherweight on this card that will likely lead to a title bout against champion and women’s pound-for-pound leader Amanda Nunes. Felicia Spencer will look to impress against Zarah Fairn after her tough decision loss to Cris Cyborg at UFC 240 in July. Megan Anderson could also earn herself a title bout against Nunes if her fight against Norma Dumont is more exciting and impressive.
