#4 Deiveson Figueiredo

Current UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo is a powerful fighter who presents threats in every phase of combat. When he is striking, he can knock out nearly anyone in his weight class due to the disparity between his punching power and the punching power possessed by other flyweights.

On the ground, he has a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, possessing a tight guillotine choke, rendering him comfortable wherever the fight goes.

Prior to becoming an elite UFC fighter, though, Figueiredo was a hairdresser. It should come as no surprise then that he has one of the most distinct hairstyles of any fighter on the UFC roster.

He typically dyes his hair blonde, stylizing it with a red streak. It has been rumored that the red streak on his hair is somehow linked to Kratos — the main character from the God of War video game series — having a red streak over his face.

Figueiredo himself has claimed that the red streak and his 'God of War' alias is due to his fascination with Wanderlei Silva's 'Axe Murderer' alias.


#3 Kris Moutinho

Portuguese MMA fighter Kris Moutinho is one of the UFC's newest European acquisitions. He most recently faced Guido Cannetti at UFC Fight Night: Santos vs. Ankalaev.

Prior to that, he fought Sean O'Malley at UFC 264. While no one will ever confuse Kris Moutinho for an elite fighter, as evidenced by his 9-6 record, he did put forth a gutsy performance against O'Malley.

He withstood everything the lanky but powerful bantamweight threw at him, leading many MMA pundits to refer to Moutinho as a zombie.

Other than his incredible toughness and durability, Moutinho's hairstyle caught the eye of fans. He dyed his hair green, wearing it long with both sides of his head shaved.

When he faced Cannetti at the UFC Fight Night event headlined by a light heavyweight bout between Thiago Santos and Magomed Ankalaev, Moutinho stepped into the octagon with his hair dyed red instead of green. Thus, many fans are left wondering exactly which color Moutinho will choose next.
