UFC 256 is live from the UFC APEX in Las Vegas. The headliner is a flyweight main event between Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno for the flyweight title. Three weeks ago, both Figueiredo and Moreno competed at UFC 255. Figueiredo was defending his title against Alex Perez, while Moreno was going up against Brandon Royval. There are five fights on the main card, and five on the preliminary card that starts at 7:30 p.m. ET live on ESPN+.
We’ll be tracking all the results tonight. Below you’ll find the winner, how they secured a victory, and adding gifs, and video of exciting moments or stoppages where we can. Make sure to follow along throughout the evening.
(C) Deiveson Figueiredo vs. #1 Brandon Moreno
Winner: Majority Draw: Figueiredo (47-47, 47-47, 47-46) Moreno
It was a classic, but it was without a winner. A low kick in the third round gave Figueiredo a one-point deduction, and it turned out to be the difference between winning and losing. We’ll see these two back in the cage again very soon I’m sure, and the fans won’t be complaining.
