37-Year-Old Deiveson Figueiredo Unfazed by Being UFC’s Oldest Bantamweight Fighter

“For a guy my age, it's very important to stay healthy. I don’t like parties or going out. I go to the gym, train, and rest…I want to fight until I’m 41 or 42,” Figueiredo said. After moving to 135 lbs in 2023 and winning three fights, the ex-champion (24-5-1) lost his last 2 bouts. He now faces Montel Jackson, who has a six-fight win streak, at UFC Rio on Oct 11.
