UFC 256 is some high quality mixed martial arts. Even with three separate planned title fight main events falling through, the promotion has somehow managed to end up with what might be the most dynamic of the pack. Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Brandon Moreno feels like a fantastic fight. Moreno’s non-stop activity everywhere could give him a great chance to out-run Figueiredo if the champ can’t stop him. The co-main between Tony Ferguson & Charles Oliveira is pure action fire. Throw some Fiziev and JDS and Kevin Holland vs. Jacare on there and this should be a great night of high level action.
