LINCOLN, Neb. – With his fourth straight UFC win, undefeated flyweight Deiveson Figueiredo (15-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) believes he’s already proven enough to challenge for a title. But if current champ Henry Cejudo isn’t game, then Figueiredo wants a chance to knock out former title holder and all-time great Demetrious Johnson . “Now I have earned credit to ask for any of the top-5, even Cejudo,” Figueiredo told MMAjunkie in his native Portuguese following his latest win. “If it’s not Cejudo, make it Demetrious Johnson. I want one of the two.” Figueiredo is currently an honorable mention in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA flyweight rankings , but that will certainly change in the next update after the undefeated Brazilian scored a devastating second-round TKO over proven vet and onetime title challenger John Moraga at this past weekend’s UFC Fight Night 135 event in Nebraska
