When does Petr Yan vs. Deiveson Figueiredo start? Walkout time for UFC Macau main event

A pivotal bantamweight bout headlines UFC Fight Night 248 as former 135-pound champion Petr Yan takes on former flyweight champ Deiveson Figueiredo. This bout scheduled for five rounds is taking place Saturday, Nov. 23 at Galaxy Arena in Macau.

No. 3 and No. 5, respectively, in the official UFC bantamweight rankings, Yan (17-5 MMA, 9-4 UFC) and Figueiredo (24-3-1 MMA, 13-3-1 UFC) are fighting for the attention of champion Merab Dvalishvili, who’s been tepid about his first title defense being against Umar Nurmagomedov.

Yan got back on track in his most recent appearance this past March at UFC 299 where he won a unanimous decision against Song Yadong to snap a three-fight skid. Prior to that, Yan had dropped three in a row to Aljamain Sterling (to lose his title), Sean O’Malley and Dvalishvili.

Since moving up to bantamweight last December, Figueiredo has been active, with this his fourth fight in the past 11 months. He’s also been on a roll and become an immediate top contender at 135 pounds after consecutive wins over Rob Font, former champ Cody Garbrandt and most recently former title challenger Marlon Vera.

Here are the walkout times for the UFC Fight Night 248 main event between Yan and Figueiredo.
