Deveison finding his range but getting a bit overconfident. Moreno finding success with his lead leg kick off of the Brazilian’s strikes. #UFC256

That was a really fun intense round. I’m feeling the suspense I felt when I watched Tim Sylvia vs Randy Couture. #UFC256

Moreno is down 2 rounds but not sure Figuerido can keep this pace for another 3 rounds. I’m also not sure how much damage Moreno has taken for 10 minutes. #UFC256

That is a little excessive to take a point without a warning. What do you guys think?
— Chuck Liddell (@ChuckLiddell) December 13, 2020
This fight is everything I expected and wanted. And to think they almost got rid of this division. #ufc256
