The third event in the UFC’s four-card July stretch on “Fight Island” went down Saturday with UFC on ESPN+ 30, which took place at Flash Forum at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi with a main card that streamed on ESPN+. After more than six months with the belt vacant, a new flyweight champion was crowned in the main event when Deiveson Figueiredo (19-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) brutalized Joseph Benavidez (28-7 MMA, 15-5 UFC) en route to a first-round submission victory . With the win, he became the first Brazilian to hold 125-pound gold.
