10-9 Figueiredo
Chito typically drops the first round in his fights, he gets more dangerous as the fight goes on.— Aaron Bronsteter (@aaronbronsteter) August 3, 2024
Aljamain Sterling
The speed difference and set ups of Figgy are apparent and sharp. Figgy well off in the drivers seat. Chito needs to find an adjustment #UFCAbuDhabi
