Unfortunately, a scale fail has dashed his title dreams.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday morning, Figueiredo missed weight for his flyweight title fight with Joseph Benavidez, which tops Saturday&#8217;s UFC Norfolk card. The Brazilian finished tipped the scales at 127.5 pounds, a significant 2.5 pounds over the 125-pound limit for flyweight title fights. While he was initially given an extra hour to make weight, he and his team ultimately abandoned their attempt to do so.<\/p>\n<p>With this result, Figueiredo will surrender 30% of his purse to Benavidez. Far more importantly, he will no longer be eligible to win the flyweight title \u2014 even if he defeats Benavidez. In other words, the UFC flyweight title will <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stevejeffery\/status\/1233425880258576386\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">still be vacant<\/a> even if Figueiredo comes out on top tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, this UFC Norfolk shakeup generated some interesting reactions rom the MMA community.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It&#39;s never been easy for Joe Benavidez.
