The final UFC pay-per-view takes place this Saturday.
In a short turnaround, UFC Flyweight Champion Deiveson Figueiredo will defend his belt against Brandon Moreno after soundly beating Alex Perez at UFC 255 on November 21, 2020. Coming in, the 125-pound champion is on a nice five-fight winning streak, with notable wins over Tim Elliott and Joseph Benavidez.
Brandon Moreno is no joke himself, as the flyweight comes into the fight with four strong wins under his belt. Despite the minor setback of a split decision against Askar Askarov at UFC Fight Night 159, the Mexico native has beaten Kai Kara-France, Jussier Formiga, and Brandon Royval. Coming in, Moreno’s professional record is 18 wins, 5 losses, and 1 no contest.
Also set to take place this Saturday, Former UFC Interim Lightweight Champion Tony Ferguson will fight for the first time since his shocking loss to Justin Gaethje at UFC 249. The 36-year-old is set to battle Charles Oliveira, a lightweight who’s hoping to finally climb into the top five rankings of the division.
