A pair of title fights highlighted UFC 255 on Saturday night as Deiveson Figueiredo defended his flyweight championship with a first-round submission against Alex Perez, while Valentina Shevchenko remained the queen at 125 pounds with her unanimous decision win over Jennifer Maia.
The second-to-last UFC pay-per-view in 2020 wasn’t big on star power and the main card didn’t exactly deliver on jaw-dropping action but there were still a couple of standout performances.
Figueiredo appears to be just what the flyweight division needed after the UFC nearly scrapped the entire weight class a few years ago.
