It looks like Deiveson Figueiredo and Joseph Benavidez might be running things back again.
The pair competed for the vacant flyweight title this past weekend at UFC Norfolk. However, only Benavidez was eligible to win the strap after Figueiredo missed weight.
In the end, the UFC’s worst nightmare occurred as Figueiredo ended up winning via second-round TKO to keep the title vacant. Although it was a definitive ending to the fight, there was some controversy as Benavidez was busted open after an accidental clash of heads leading up to the finish.
And given that the fight was pretty competitive — at least in the first round — White is leaning towards booking the duo in a rematch for the vacant title (via Adam Hill).
