UFC Fight Night: Figueiredo vs. Benavidez 2 – How to Watch, Fight Card, Date, and Start Time
We have another UFC Fight Night on our hands soon, and we’re eager to watch the event online. This time around, the focus is on Figueiredo and Benavidez, who are facing each other in the main card.
This will actually be the second time the two are fighting each other after their bout in February. That fight was supposed to determine the new champion. Still, even though Figueiredo won with a TKO in the second round, the title was not given because of the missed weight.
It was feared that the fight would not take place this time around after Figueiredo tested positive for COVID-19. However, he had already been sick two months ago, so it was believed that the test done ahead of the event was a false positive. A second test turned out negative, so they’ll move forward with the fight.
