Deiveson Figueiredo did it again, but in much more destructive fashion. This time around, ‘Deus da Guerra’ knocked down Joseph Benavidez several times in the first round and finished the bout with a rear-naked choke that put his opponent out cold to become the new flyweight champion at UFC Fight Island 2. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the bout.
Good luck joe!!! @JoeJitsu

Good defense/toughness and poor offense = a nice escape for Benevidez. Tough start here for Joe.
