UFC 256 is a proving ground.
Flyweight Champion Deiveson Figueiredo looks for his second successful title defense in the past three weeks at UFC 256, as he puts his belt on the line against Brandon Moreno. Figueiredo (20-1) defeated Joseph Benavidez in back-to-back fights en route to winning the belt, which is relevant again tonight as Moreno (18-5-1) spent time living and training under the watchful eye of Benavidez. He will look to avenge Benavidez’s losses by dethroning Figueiredo, though that is going to be quite a challenge. Figueiredo is in the midst of a dominant stretch and enters this fight a massive favorite.
