Right up to the headliner, UFC 270 was a banger of an event. Though five of the first ten fights went to decision, not a single one of them were boring and there was a lot of high-level action. What there wasn’t, unfortunately, was a lot of relevancy. Cancellations and late changes meant that a lot of the fighters were entering the UFC for the first time, so the rankings weren’t exactly on the line in many of the bouts.
With that being said, Deiveson Figueiredo’s flyweight title win saw him re-enter the pound-for-pound rankings again, and sent Brandon Moreno down a bit.
