Best flyweight bout ever? Watch Deiveson Figueiredo vs Brandon Moreno full fight video highlights from UFC 256

Headlining UFC 256 was a flyweight title bout between two fighters who just competed 21 days prior. In the end Deiveson Figueiredo’s impressive title run technically continued, but it ended up officially as a draw. It was a back and forth contest, and very game Brandon Moreno showed up and both flyweights put on a show. A point deduction due to a low blow almost cost Figueiredo his belt, and caused the fight to end up as a draw.
