Two title fights headlined the UFC 255 pay-per-view card. At the end of the night, the two fighters who walked into the UFC Apex in Las Vegas carrying flyweight titles, were the same competitors who walked out with them.
In the main event, flyweight champion, Deiveson Figueiredo, scored his third straight first-round finish when he stopped Alex Perez via submission. The win was his first defense of the vacant title he captured in July when he stopped Joseph Benavidez via technical submission late in the first round.
In the co-main event, the reigning women’s flyweight title holder, Valentina Shevchenko kept her UFC 125-pound record perfect with a decision win over Jennifer Maia.
