EDMONTON – After a pivotal win against a tough opponent, Deiveson Figueiredo wants a shot at the flyweight title. The Brazilian slugger is also concerned two-division champ Henry Cejudo might make that impossible – or at least that’s what his manager and translator says. “If Cejudo starts to play around, we need to make an interim belt, because he cannot play around,” Wallid Ismail told reporters, including MMA Junkie, after Figueiredo’s gutsy win over Alexandre Pantoja on the ESPN-televised prelims of UFC 240.
