Deiveson Figueiredo goes up against Brandon Moreno in the headline event as UFC 256 kicks off at the UFC Apex this weekend.

Ad

Brazilian star Figueiredo is determined to cling onto his UFC Flyweight Championship belt, but will face stern opposition from Moreno who has enjoyed a couple of solid wins under lockdown restrictions this year.

They aren't the only top fighters on the card though, with Tony Ferguson aiming to bounce back from a shock defeat to Justin Gaethje at UFC 249 earlier this year.

His stock has taken a hit in 2020, but a victory over Charles Oliveira would set him back on the right tracks.

Mackenzie Dern and Kevin Holland are among the other names involved this weekend, and we've rounded up the full list for you to soak up.
