All hell broke loose in the main event of UFC 256 as Deiveson “God of War” Figueiredo survived Brandon “The Assassin Baby” Moreno to retain his flyweight title via majority draw on Saturday, December 12 at UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The action-packed bout, however, was momentarily halted in the 3rd round after Figueiredo’s front kick landed below the belt of Moreno, which resulted in a deducted point for the Brazilian champion. The fight – which is being touted as the best match in the flyweight division – ended with 47-46 , 47-47, 47-47 scorecard.
This is now the second successful title defense of Figueiredo since taking the throne last July. Just last November, Figueiredo also headlined a PPV event and defended the title against Alex Perez. Oliveira shook off the former champion’s perseverance in the remaining rounds and muscled his way to the victory through his masterful ground control.
Meanwhile, Kevin “Trailblazer” Holland extended his winning streak by knocking out Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza in the opening round of their fight.
