A fight four years in the making is coming to Sin City in April.

Deiveson Figueiredo is set to battle Cody Garbrandt at UFC 300 in Las Vegas on April 13.

The fight was confirmed Friday by UFC president Dana White on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Other fights announced by White: Tai Tuivasa vs. Marcin Tybura, March 16; Rose Namajunas vs. Amanda Ribas, March 23; Sean Brady vs. Vicente Luque, March 30.

Garbrandt, the former UFC Bantamweight Champion has won back-to-back bouts over Brian Kelleher and Trevin Jones since returning to the bantamweight division in March of last year. He has not been shy about asking for a fight with Figueiredo — a fight that was originally supposed to happen in 2020.

“I want to stay busy in 2024, this is my call out: Deiveson Figueiredo,” Garbrandt said in a press conference after his fight at UFC 296. “This fight should have happened a long time ago. It was stripped from COVID, from a world title. You’re in my division now, so let’s get ready for April or May.”

Figueiredo recently made his bantamweight debut with a decision win over Rob Font in December. The former two-time UFC Flyweight Champion has a 5-2 record with one draw since the start of 2020.
