The second-to-last pay-per-view of 2020 for the UFC occurs on Saturday as UFC 255 occurs from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
The card features two championship bouts in the men's and women's flyweight division: Deiveson Figueiredo defends his belt for the first time when he takes on Alex Perez in the headliner, and Valentina Shevchenko puts her title on the line for the fourth time against Jennifer Maia.
Figueiredo won the belt in July, plowing through Joseph Benavidez by first-round submission to win his first world title. The Brazilian had been set for his first title defense with Cody Garbrandt. But in October, Garbrandt tore his bicep and was pulled from the card. The UFC didn't have to look too far as Perez was already on the card against Brandon Moreno.
Perez entered the UFC through the Dana White's Contender Series. He has made the most of his opportunity by going 6-1 with four of those victories via stoppage.
Can Figueiredo have a successful first title defense, or does Perez pull off the shocker and capture UFC gold?
