The UFC held its final pay-per-view event of 2020, turning an injury plagued nightmare into one the promotion’s most entertaining fight cards of the year.
Three title fights were planned for UFC 256, but three title fights fell off the card. Men’s flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo, just three weeks removed from his first title defense, saved the day by facing No. 1 contender Brandon Moreno in the UFC 256 headliner.
Moreno also last fought on the UFC 255 fight card three weeks, the same as Figueiredo. Regardless, they delivered in the main event, putting on a tremendous display of heart and skill.
