UFC flyweight contender Manel Capy has explained why he won’t fight Deiveson Figueiredo.
“Starboy” has been out of the octagon since his decision win over David Dvorak in December. The win was huge, as it moved his winning streak to three. In previous octagonal appearances, Capy had scored back-to-back victories over Odi Osborne and Zalgas Zumagulov. This winning steak was enough to make him a drinker on “Deus da Guerra”.
The Brazilian has been sidelined since his fourth match against Brandon Moreno in January. Figueiredo announced his plans to move up to bantamweight following a stoppage loss at The Assassin Baby. However, it appears he changed his mind, as he was booked to face Kape at UFC 290 in July.
Unfortunately, the fight won’t happen. Last night, Deiveson Figueiredo withdrew from the competition, because he was not allowed to compete. For his part, Manel Capi gave his own explanation for the withdrawal.
on TwitterThe flyweight competitor stated that his scheduled opponent was not in physical condition to fight. He also criticized Cabe Figueiredo for signing the fight contract, without being allowed to compete.
Finally, he sends a message to Dana White and Mick Maynard, asking them to fix the situation. Considering that this is the second match in a row that Kape has pulled down an opponent, the frustration is understandable.

The fact is that he is fat, weak and large. He started training and felt that it was different, so he ran away from the fight. @tweet @tweet Abdelaziz00 Please do something, I can’t take these losers anymore.

“This clown @Daico_Deiveson did an interview saying he was ready to fight in July, he signed the contract and then talked to the doctor and asked him if he could fight? He should talk to the doctor first and then sign. Pontorin, Alex Perez now this fake champion is quitting?”
