Not so fast, says Figueiredo.
“That will not happen for now,” Figueiredo told Sherdog.com in response to Font. “After talking to my manager, Urijah Faber, and my trainer, I’ve decided to stay in flyweight division. I still have a story to write there. I want to have my three next fights at flyweight.”
According to the former champion, his initial plan is face the winner of the possible next title bout between Brandon Moreno and Alexandre Pantoja. Moreno vs. Pantoja has not been formally announced by the UFC, however. Figueiredo’s last four UFC bouts have been against Moreno, with “Daico” going 1-2-1 against the Mexican standout.
