We’ve got all of tonight’s UFC Rio results in store for you, including the men’s bantamweight co-main event between Deiveson Figueiredo and Montel Jackson.
Figueiredo (25-5-1 MMA) will enter the fight hoping to snap a two-fight losing skid. ‘Daico’ previously competed at the UFC Iowa in May eventwhere he suffered a TKO injury loss to recent title challenger Cory Sandhagen. That defeat was preceded by a decision loss to former bantamweight champion Petr Yan.
Meanwhile, Montel Jackson (15-3 MMA) is currently riding a six-fight winning streak, with his most recent victory being a unanimous decision over Daniel Marcos last May. ‘Quick’ hasn’t tasted defeat since July 2020.

The first round of the UFC Rio co-main event begins and after some split strikes, Deiveson Figueiredo gets a takedown about 75 seconds into the round. Jackson tries to get up. Figgy thinks about a guillotine, but then Jackson scrambles and gives up his back. One more fight and now Jackson is free. The former flyweight champion with a head kick that misses. Figgy decides to chase a bit upon entry and eats a counter punch, but that’s all Jackson has been able to do so far. Figgy with a good right hook to end the opening round.
The second round of the UFC Rio co-main event begins and once again Deiveson Figueiredo is able to score an early takedown after a 1-2 from Montel Jackson. Figgy looks for an arm-triangle choke, but there isn’t one. We return to the feet. Jackson hesitated a lot despite the reach advantage. Figueiredo with a nice body kick.
Round three didn’t see much action. In fact, it was one of the worst rounds in recent memory. That said, Figgy should still walk away a winner here, in what was an extremely disappointing co-main attraction.
BY DIVORCE DECISION@Daico_Deiveson seals the deal! 💥
