Figueiredo won the vacant Flyweight Championship via a technical submission of Joseph Benavidez at UFC Fight Night on July 19. He was initially slated to defend his title against former UFC Bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt at UFC 255, but Garbrandt reportedly had to pull out of the fight due to a torn bicep in early October. Perez was originally set to face Brandon Moreno at UFC 255 before being announced as Garbrandt’s replacement.
Meanwhile, Shevchenko has successfully defended her Women’s Flyweight Champion title three times since first winning the belt at UFC 231 on Dec. 8, 2018. Maia last fought on Aug. 1 at UFC Fight Night, where her first-round submission of Joanne Calderwood was named the Performance of the Night.
