Deiveson Figueiredo has the ability to make opponents pay for the smallest mistakes. Last October at UFC on ESPN+ 19, Tim Elliott found this out the hard way. A former UFC flyweight title challenger, Elliott shot for an ill-advised takedown and paid for it. After almost three minutes of a feeling-out process, Elliott tried to drag the fight to the ground. However, Figueiredo swiftly snatched hold of Elliott’s neck. No matter how much Elliott strained, he couldn’t escape.
