Deiveson Figueiredo looks to make the fastest title fight turnaround in UFC history when he faces Brandon Moreno at UFC 256 in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
Both fighters are coming off first-round finishes at UFC 255 only three weeks ago, where Figueiredo submitted Alex Perez in less than two minutes in his first title defense. The Brazilian star has had the best year in the promotion, tallying a 9–1 record in his first 10 trips to the Octagon. Another strong title defense could seal Figueiredo winning Fighter of the Year.
However, Moreno could put plenty of pressure on the champion.
