UFC president Dana White still plans on crowning a new flyweight champion. This past Saturday at UFC on ESPN+ 27, Joseph Benavidez took on Deiveson Figueiredo for the vacant 125-pound title, with Benavidez the only one eligible to win the belt because of Figueiredo missing weight. Figueiredo went on to knock out Benavidez in the second round after an accidental head butt dazed Benavidez, leading to the finish. Because of the unfortunate sequence of events, White says the plan is to run the fight back.
