Both flyweight titles are on the line at UFC 255 on November 21st in Las Vegas. Men’s champion Deiveson Figueiredo defends his title against Alex Perez, who’s filling in for the injured Cody Garbrandt. Perez has the chance to become the first Dana White’s Contender Series signing to make it all the way to UFC gold. In the co-main event, women’s champion Valentina Shevchenko looks to continue her dominant reign against Brazil’s Jennifer Maia.
Easily the best non-title fight on the card is Brandon Royval vs. Brandon Moreno, which is essentially a #1 contender bout at 125 lbs. That’ll be the featured prelim, while Joaquin Buckley looks to build on his epic KO of Impa Kasanganay with a showdown versus Jordan Wright. Antonina Shevchenko is also on this card against Ariane Lipski, so it’s a night where both Shevchenko sisters are fighting.
