We might hear another confirmed UFC 300 fight in the coming hours, with a claim saying Deiveson Figueiredo would face Cody Garbrandt for his next bantamweight match.

Figueiredo just succeeded in entering his new division by defeating Rob Font via a unanimous decision last month. Now, MMA news outlet Ag.Fight claims that the fighter’s next match is already set, with Garbrandt being his opponent. The UFC still hasn’t confirmed the matter after recently announcing the newly added Zhang Weili vs. Yan Xiaonan fight to the event. Yet, there is a huge chance it will be pushed since Garbrandt expressed interest in fighting Deiveson last month.

In case this is true, Figueiredo will be facing an interesting fighter the next time he enters the cage. Garbrandt is a former bantamweight champion and just made his two-fight winning streak after defeating Brian Kelleher and Trevin Jones in 2023. Yet, with 8 submissions and 9 KO wins and beating Font, who won over Garbrandt in the past, Figueiredo stands a chance to make another success in bantamweight.
