Former UFC flyweight champion Brazilian Deiveson Figueiredo said he would not be able to face Manel Kape at UFC 290, which takes place July 8 in Las Vegas (USA).
Deiveson Figueiredo
I asked for a fight, told my manager I wanted to fight already, but when he gave me the fight and I talked to my physical therapist and my ophthalmologist, they said my eyesight is still not 100 percent.so they decided I had to go the full six-month medical suspension.
Figueiredo, 35, last fought in January 2023 at UFC 283. His opponent at that time was Mexican Brandon Moreno for the fourth time. Their confrontation ended with the doctors' stoppage due to the Brazilian's eye injury. So Moreno was awarded the victory by TKO in the third round. Figueiredo had 21 wins and three losses.
