But there were some serious repercussions for the same. The &lsquo;God of War&rsquo; looked way off from his usual self in the octagon.

He acknowledged that he was limited to mitt training and drills. Stating the obvious, it clearly wasn&rsquo;t enough to face someone of Sandhagen&rsquo;s caliber, a prime contender for the UFC Bantamweight Championship, now more than ever.<\/p><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em><strong>&ldquo;I wasn&rsquo;t 100%. Let me be clear, I was out of action for three weeks. I got hit in the jaw with a straight punch, and my jaw dislocated. That prevented me from doing any serious sparring for a month&hellip; So, I was doing positions, doing mitt movements, to burn calories, to avoid being inactive. And towards the end, during the trip, I got some scratches defending a takedown, I didn&rsquo;t take proper care of them and it got infected. I traveled on Saturday night, at 2 am, with a high fever,&rdquo;<\/strong><\/em> Figueiredo stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em><strong>&ldquo;I called my manager and said, &lsquo;Cancel the fight because it&rsquo;s not going to happen.&rsquo; I talked to my father and my friends. They encouraged me. Leaving home and having to come back empty-handed. I have children, I have a ton of things to pay for. Coming home empty-handed is not worth it. The higher class you live in, the higher the expense. I have to pay for my children&rsquo;s schooling, my household bills, I have some investments in Brazil.&rdquo;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote><p>Financial obligations and his role as a provider ultimately pushed &ldquo;Deus da Guerra&rdquo; to step into the Octagon. He admitted that he nearly withdrew but was encouraged to push through by family and friends. The Sandhagen bout was his first appearance since headlining against Petr Yan at UFC Fight Night 248 in November 2024, which he also lost via unanimous decision.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Cory Sandhagen says Deiveson Figueiredo's fight-ending injury at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFCDesMoines?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#UFCDesMoines<\/a> was no fluke.<br><br>\"If I sit up hard and you don't sit back, your knee is going to pop. &hellip; That wasn't an accidental thing.\"<br><br>&#127909; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ufc?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@UFC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Z5HxckCO7l\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/Z5HxckCO7l<\/a><\/p>&mdash; MMA Junkie (@MMAJunkie) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MMAJunkie\/status\/1918906757398536517?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 4, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p><strong>Read More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/no-more-undefeated-2025-proves-brutal-for-ufcs-unbeaten-fighters\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><strong>No More Undefeated: 2025 Proves Brutal for UFC&rsquo;s Unbeaten Fighters<\/strong><\/a><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&rsquo;s Next For Deiveson Figueiredo?<\/h2><p>Even after a losing streak of two, the former two-time UFC Flyweight champion remains optimistic.
