The future of the flyweight division is “murky,” according to UFC President Dana White , but this much is clear: UFC 233 has another 125-pound fight. On Tuesday, the promotion announced that Joseph Benavidez will face undefeated Deiveson Figueiredo at the Jan. 26 pay-per-view event from Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. It’ll be a quick turnaround for Benavidez (26-5 MMA, 13-3 UFC), who this past weekend defeated Alex Perez by first-round TKO at The Ultimate Fighter 28 Finale. Afterward, Benavidez made a plea to change the narrative on the status of the flyweight division.
