Following his bantamweight loss to Petr Yan, Deiveson Figueiredo has shifted training strategies, bringing in Eastern European fighters to enhance his skill set. He emphasizes stepping out of his comfort zone to drive daily evolution in his technique. Figueiredo's rigorous training regimen, devoid of family distractions, is geared towards a strong performance against Cory Sandhagen, where grappling may give him an edge. A compelling performance could lead to a potential title shot, given his former champion status and upcoming matchups in the division.
"A fighter can never be in his comfort zone. I hired two Russians to help me in this camp at Pitbull Brothers. Leaving my comfort zone made me evolve daily."
"When you're fighting Cory, you have to be careful; he's very versatile and knows how to use his reach well, but I'm arriving well prepared to surprise him."
