UFC President Dana White has answered a question about whether former UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueredo will fight Manel Cape at UFC 290 in Las Vegas.
“You know, that’s a damn good question,” the head of the organization said at a press conference in Charlotte. “First he says ‘yes’, then he says ‘no’ to the other guys. Yesterday I heard ‘yes’ again, but just now he told me he was moving up to bantamweight, so who knows. This is some crazy shit we have to deal with every day.”
Earlier, the Brazilian announced that he was prevented from entering the upcoming fight by an eye injury received in the previous fight against Brandon Moreno, and also made it clear that he was not satisfied with the choice of an opponent.
Recall that the UFC 290 tournament will take place on July 8, and its main event will be a featherweight unification fight between Alexander Volkanovski and Yair Rodriguez.
