An analysis of everything that made UFC 256 an outstanding event
Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC Saturday’s UFC 256 was an event to remember. There was not a fight on the card that was not worth watching. The event might not go down as the best pay-per-view card of 2020, but it will certainly be in the discussion for that title.
Speaking of titles, the main event between UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo and challenger Brandon Moreno was mentioned as a potential “Fight of the Year” contender and one of the best fights in UFC flyweight history after the ESPN+ streaming pay-per-view card ended. I won’t argue with either of those opinions, especially considering the UFC booked that bout in the aftermath of November’s UFC 255 PPV event.
