Nurmagomedov defeats Figueiredo

At UFC 324 in Las Vegas on Jan. 24, 2026, Umar Nurmagomedov earned a unanimous decision over Deiveson Figueiredo.

All three judges scored the contest 30-27 for Nurmagomedov.

He leaned on repeated takedowns to control large portions of the fight and build his case on the scorecards.

Figueiredo reportedly missed weight by 2.5 pounds and appeared less explosive than in past title runs.

The win reportedly moves Nurmagomedov closer to a bantamweight title opportunity, though next steps are still being discussed.
