Former UFC lightweight champion Deiveson Figueredo spoke about his future goals after an early victory over former lightweight titleholder Cody Garbrandt.

Recall that last weekend at the UFC 300 event in Las Vegas, USA, Figueredo "choked" Garbrandt in the second round.

"I defeated a serious fighter with a very big name, and it just shows what a new chapter in my career is going to be. I'm a former champion at another weight, I've won in this division and I want to fight for the belt. The fact that I fought Moreno for the title last time was a mistake in my opinion, so I believe I deserve the opportunity to face the champion now.

One hundred percent, I'm ready to fight again, whether it's O'Malley, Dvalishvili or anyone else. Whoever Dana puts up, I will fight him," Figueredo was quoted as saying by MMA MAnia.
