Deiveson Figueiredo vs Cody Garbrandt Prediction: One of the UFC 300 Highlights

Las Vegas will host a UFC 300 event on April 14th. In the lightest weight class, the event will open with a fight between two former champions, Deiveson Figueiredo and Cody Garbrandt.

This will mark Figueredo's second fight in his new weight class, a testament to his resilience and determination after his confident victory over Rob Font in his debut.

The former champion of the lightest division confidently defeats all opponents except Brandon Moreno. He has fought Moreno four times, resulting in two losses, a win, and a draw. However, recall that Davison is already 36 years old, which is critical for this division, particularly considering his fast and aggressive fighting style that relies on excellent physical preparation.

In the lightweight division, he can still make an impact. Cody Garbrandt won the championship in 2016 but lost it quickly and failed to reclaim it in the rematch with Dillashaw. From 2017 to 2021, Cody suffered five losses in six fights. After a two-year pause, he returned and won two victories last year. Although his opponents, Trevin Jones and Brian Kelleher, were not the most powerful, it was vital for him to get started.

The fight promises to be a battle of wits and skills. Cody is likely to provoke exchanges, while Figueredo will be on the lookout for an advantage on the ground. The outcome is far from certain, adding to the intrigue of the match.
