The UFC remains landlocked at their APEX facility in Las Vegas, NV. This weekend’s event, UFC 256 (stream it here), stars Flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo... just like UFC 255 did two weeks ago.
At the last event Figueiredo defended his 125 lbs title versus Alex Perez. On that card Brandon Moreno beat Brandon Royval to become the number one contender. With both men coming out of their fights unscathed, they get the quick turnaround.
The co-main event sees the return of Tony Ferguson, who was last seen in a loss to Justin Gaethje right at the beginning of the pandemic.
