- November 21, 2020
UFC 255: Figueiredo vs. Perez is the tenth episode of the twenty-sixth season of UFC PPV Events. This episode features a highly anticipated flyweight championship bout between current champion Deiveson Figueiredo and top contender Alex Perez.
Figueiredo has been on a tear in the flyweight division, with his last three victories coming by way of impressive stoppages. He won the vacant title in July of 2020 with a dominant performance over Joseph Benavidez, and followed that up with a first-round submission victory over perennial contender, Tim Elliott.
Perez, on the other hand, is relatively new to the flyweight scene. He made his UFC debut in 2018 and has since amassed a record of 6-1 in the promotion. He earned his shot at the flyweight title with a submission victory over Jussier Formiga in June of 2020.
In addition to the main event, UFC 255 features a co-main event between women's flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko and challenger Jennifer Maia. Shevchenko has been dominant in the division since winning the vacant title in December of 2018, with four successful title defenses under her belt. Maia earned her title shot with an impressive victory over Joanne Calderwood in August of 2020.
The rest of the card is filled with exciting matchups, including a battle between welterweight contenders Mike Perry and Tim Means, and a clash between light heavyweight prospects Mauricio Rua and Paul Craig.
Overall, UFC 255 promises to be an action-packed event, with two title fights and a stacked undercard. Fans of mixed martial arts won't want to miss this one.
