VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – A new flyweight champion will be crowned Saturday when the UFC returns to Virginia for the fifth time in company history. UFC on ESPN+ 27 takes place at Chartway Arena in Norfolk, Va. The entire card streams on ESPN+. In the main event, either Joseph Benavidez (28-5 MMA, 15-3 UFC) or Deiveson Figueiredo (17-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) will claim the 125-pound belt relinquished by Henry Cejudo late last year and become just the third fighter in company history to hold that belt, joining Cejudo and Demetrious Johnson.
