Deiveson Figueiredo has violent intentions for Joseph Benavidez when they meet for the vacant flyweight title at UFC Norfolk.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, BJPENN.com reported the title bout was set<\/a>, and for Figueiredo, he was very surprised to discover he would be fighting for the vacant title.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know if I wanted to cry or laugh,\u201d Figueiredo said to MMA Fighting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now that the fight is official, the Brazilian says he will go to Norfolk and knock Benavidez out. The two were supposed to fight in January<\/a> and since then both have trash-talked one another which Figueiredo didn’t like.<\/p>\n

Yet, even with Deiveson Figueiredo not liking Joseph Benavidez, he knows the American will be a tough opponent and one he can’t underestimate.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s time to make this guy swallow everything he said about me,\u201d Figueiredo said. \u201cBenavidez is a phenom. I\u2019ve watched this guy fight even before I got in the UFC, so it\u2019s an honor for me to fight someone like him. I can\u2019t underestimate him. He\u2019s really tough.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to go there to kill this guy. There\u2019s no respect inside the Octagon. I\u2019m going there to kill him and get what\u2019s mine.\u201d<\/p>\n

If the Brazilian does indeed get a knockout win he makes it clear the rivalry with Benavidez is over. And, it will be all respect afterward. But, in the lead up to the fight and inside the Octagon, he has violent intentions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to knock this guy out,\u201d Figueiredo said. \u201cI won\u2019t do any gesture that might offend him after the fight. Our war is in there. After that, we\u2019re cool. I\u2019ll just celebrate my victory.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the end, Figueiredo is more than confident he will get his hand raised and be the new flyweight champion. He also suspects he will be holding the belt for a long time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m coming to dominate the belt and prove I can hold it for a long time,\u201d Deiveson Figueiredo said. \u201cI want to go there and knock Benavidez out to get what is mine. I\u2019m here to win the belt. I\u2019ve said that since day one, I\u2019m in the UFC to get the belt. And I\u2019ve done everything I was set out to do. It\u2019s time now.\u201d<\/p>\n
