LAS VEGAS — Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno saved the best for nearly last. In the UFC’s penultimate show of the year, the flyweights went at it viciously in their battle for Figueiredo’s belt in the main event of UFC 256 Saturday at Apex.
Judges scored it 47-47 twice and 47-46 for Figueiredo, leading the bout to be a majority draw. As champion, Figueiredo kept the belt. Yahoo Sports also had it 47-47, giving Figueiredo Rounds 1, 3 and 5.
The bout was decided because of a point deduction on Figueiredo in the third round for a low blow.
