Deiveson Figueiredo vs Jarred Brooks — Fight recap

Deiveson Figueiredo won a split decision over Jarred Brooks on October 28, 2017, in a flyweight contest that went the full three rounds. Despite being significantly outworked on the feet—Brooks landed 30 significant strikes compared to Figueiredo's 19—and controlled the cage for 7:28 to Figueiredo's 1:06, the Brazilian secured the victory through split-card scoring.

Brooks dominated grappling exchanges, converting 7 of 11 takedown attempts (63%) and maintaining superior positional control, while Figueiredo managed only 1 successful takedown from 4 attempts but attempted five submissions in search of a finish. Figueiredo's activity on the mat and submission threats apparently resonated with at least two judges despite Brooks' clear striking volume and wrestling dominance.

The decision highlighted how closely matched the division remained at that level, with both fighters demonstrating legitimate paths to victory in a competitive affair.
