Brandon Moreno put up a great fight and came within a whisker of winning, the Brazilian retains his title.

47-46, 47-47, 47-47 were the results of the cards that favoured the Brazilian Figueiredo against the Mexican Brandon Moreno.

Figueiredo was more insistent in front of a Moreno who was more reserved, taking his distance and connecting on a couple of occasions with left-handers. Everything will be decided on the cards, remembering that Figueiredo had one point deducted.

Now it was Moreno who knocked Figueiredo down and put him against the cage, however, the Brazilian had the ability to get up; later he released a powerful hook that hurt the Brazilian.

Later, the Mexican released a powerful blow on the canvas to the Brazilian, who managed to resist.

There was a low blow from Figueiredo that caused Moreno to be several minutes on the stave enduring the pain; so they took a stitch out of the Brazilian.

Brandon continues to defend himself from a possible knockdown and bets more on the exchange of fists, where he has been more effective.

Moreno's eye slowly begins to close, Figueiredo will try to attack there.

Figueiredo began with more desire and released blows with a greater effectiveness that generated damage to Moreno, who held on and knocked down the Brazilian twice, although in both he got up quickly.

Moreno continues to generate more damage with several jabs.

A first period that didn't have a clear dominator, where Moreno had a good footwork and a good distance, resorting more to boxing movements, while Figueiredo hurt with a strong kick.

We are minutes away from the start of the fight between Figueiredo and Moreno. Don't miss it.

We are minutes away from living the stellar fight between Moreno and Figueiredo, who will win?

 

Oliveira minimized that he had only 20 days to prepare and is now waiting to fight for a title in the UFC.

Oliveira won categorically by 30-26, noting that in the end he thanked his family and friends for their support over the years.

Oliveira came within a hair's breadth of securing the fight with an attempted key that slipped away again and Ferguson resisted once more, although it is clear that he will lose by the unanimous decision

The dynamic of the combat did not change, Oliveira was superior, he submitted Ferguson who resisted more than three minutes on the ground, but it seems that the victory of the Brazilian is closer.

Oliveira has seen himself superior to Ferguson, sending him to the canvas twice and not letting him get out of there, but he could not finish the fight due to submission despite a key attempt in the last minutes.

Oliveira and Ferguson are ready for the penultimate match of the night.

Ferguson and Oliveira begin to prepare for the co-star fight.

Dern defeated Jandiroba by unanimous decision 29-28, in an extremely close fight that could have been for anyone.

Both fighters came out with the attitude of winning, although Jandiroba made a turn with a punch that connected Dern, although he couldn't knock her down. Later, it was Dern who unleashed a forehand that hurt his opponent.

Very eventful the second episode, where Jandiroba got an eye sting and the fight had to be stopped. Dern was hit hard in the face and began to bleed, while she was knocked down on the stave, but managed to contain her opponent so that the round was consumed.

They have dealt blows, none has been able to send the rival to the canvas, although with more proposal and with more effective blows from Dern. 

Dern and Jandiroba get ready to climb the stave and sustain their fight.

Minutes away from the only stellar female combat between Dern and Jardinoba.

Gane came out with more conviction in the second round and a flurry of blows was enough to extend Dos Santos' losing streak.

Very even was the first round where neither of the two fighters managed to impose conditions.

Dos Santos and Gane are already upstairs to star in the first fight on the billboard.

Cirly Gane vs Junior dos Santos will be the first bout on the billboard and is just minutes away.

We remind you that the last fight tonight will be between Figueiredo and Moreno.

Brandon Moreno confessed that he thought he would be fighting Figueiredo on November 21st and not Alex Perez, however, his golden opportunity came and he will not miss it.

The star-studded line-up of UFC 256 begins, where the main course will be the clash between Figueiredo and Mexican Moreno, who could become the first Aztec fighter to become champion.

In the last two years, Mexican Brandon Moreno has only fought five times, but with a balance of four victories for a draw.

The last victory came on 21 November when he beat American Brandon Royval in the first episode.

Born in Tijuana, this week Brandon Moreno had a mural done where he could become the first Mexican to become a UFC champion.

"When I competed or simply went to the Tijuana Auditorium, I looked at the murals of the great boxers of the city and always told myself that one day I would be as big as them to deserve to be portrayed like this. Today I know I'm not that big yet but I'm so grateful for the recognition," he said via Instagram.

A few days ago, Dana White, president of the CFU, commented that she sees qualities in Moreno of brilliance that could be likened to what JJ Chavez did in boxing:

"It's just a matter of time. JC Chavez had an incredible record because he fought all the time. But as the pandemic is going on, the youngest ones are fighting four or five times a year. He won't be like the Chavez of boxing, but of course he can be the Chavez of the MMA, he can be a champion and prove himself to everyone who wants to take his belt away one day". 

Only 21 days after the victory against Alex Perez, the Brazilian Deiveson Figueiredo will become the fighter to defend his title so quickly, against the Mexican Brandon Moreno.

Brandon Moreno could become the first Mexican to win a UFC title, and what better way to do so than in the last major billboard in a year that has been as atypical as 2020.
