Deiveson Figueiredo was as humble as it gets in the aftermath of his UFC Fight Night 248 main event loss to Petr Yan. Figueiredo (24-4-1 MMA, 13-4-1 UFC) saw his perfect run since moving up to bantamweight spoiled by fellow former champion Yan (18-5 MMA, 10-4 UFC) on Saturday in the form of a unanimous decision loss at Galaxy Arena in Macau. It was an entertaining battle, but ultimately the Brazilian lost every round on all three judges’ scorecards, setting him back in his pursuit to add another divisional title to his resume alongside the flyweight strap. Instead of making excuses about why his hand wasn’t raised, though, Figueiredo paid all credit forward to Yan, and promised to make a strong comeback from the defeat. “God damn, what a fight,” Figueiredo said through an interpreter during his in-cage interview with Michael Bisping
