The UFC tried real hard to make UFC 256 a card to remember. After all, it’s the last PPV of a tumultuous 2020. Unfortunately, the best laid plans of mice and men. Kamaru Usman pulled out of his scheduled contest with Gilbert Burns. Amanda Nunes pulled out of her scheduled fight with Megan Anderson. Petr Yan withdrew from his scheduled bout with Aljamain Sterling. All were title fights. Deiveson Figueiredo may not have much clout, but the flyweight champion was willing to defend his belt against Brandon Moreno less than a month after he last did so to give the PPV a title fight to build around… and it ended up being pretty good.
