After initially coming in overweight Figueiredo was given the customary extra time to cut the excess. Speaking to BJPENN.com his manager Wallid Ismail says that didn’t happen after the UFC doctors advised his fighter to stop cutting weight when Figueiredo admitted to feeling cramped and nauseous.

“Stuff happens. He
described to his doctor what he was feeling, and his doctor told him to be
careful and not cut any more weight. He felt a bad cramp and was nauseous. It
was that. His doctor advised him to stop the weight cut.

“Now, he knows he needs to
give the fans a great show for this fight. He promised the fans a big fight and
this is what he is going to do tomorrow. There will be blood and it still will
be a war. He wants to say thank you to Benavidez for still taking the fight and
sorry to the fans and to the UFC for missing weight. It was a medical issue.
He’s never missed weight in his entire career before this and he apologizes.”

This weight miss is the
first of Figueiredo’s career. In all seven of his previous UFC bouts the
Brazilian made the flyweight limit with no issues.
