Looking at the quickest turnaround for a champion and a challenger in UFC history, Dana White had reason to be concerned.
Flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno both scored first-round finishes three weeks ago, but there were no guarantees that they’d be able to perform again at such a high level heading into the UFC 256 main event with relatively little preparation.
As it turns out, there was no reason to worry. Figueiredo and Moreno battled to a spectacular five-round majority draw on Saturday, leaving fans clamoring for another 25 minutes in the future so that the two might settle the score.
