Miocic, who continues to work full-time as a fireman, now faces scrutiny regarding his preparation from Dominick Cruz.
Deiveson Figueiredo has reportedly agreed to make the move up to the bantamweight division and take on Dominick Cruz.
Unlike some of MMA's most prominent divisions, bantamweight has a very short history of battles under the sport's brightest lights.
At UFC 269 on December 11, 2021, Dominick Cruz defeated Pedro Munhoz and it was his last MMA victory.
One of the most nimble combatants in MMA, Dominick Cruz is renowned for his rapid footwork, head movements, and use of feints.
