Drops decision as big favorite
Figueiredo lost to Malcolm Gordon via unanimous decision (27-30, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC on ESPN 26 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Making his second UFC appearance, Figueiredo -- who took a unanimous decision from Jerome Rivera in January -- struggled in this one despite entering as a massive -300 favorite. He had zero answers for the constant pressure of Gordon and frequently lost position on the mat despite being a noted submission specialist. It's fair to wonder if Figueiredo was overrated from the very start due to the fact his older brother Deiveson is a former UFC Flyweight Champion. He'll need a strong bounce back effort his next time out.
