The final Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) pay-per-view (PPV) of the year will go down tonight (Sat., Dec. 12, 2020) as UFC 256 unfolds live on ESPN+ PPV from inside UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada, with a Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Brandon Moreno flyweight title fight serving as the main attraction.
Before Figueiredo and Moreno duke it out for the 125-pound strap on just 21 days notice, the rest of the UFC 256 main card and “Prelims” will play out in violent fashion. From a co-main event lightweight clash between Tony Ferguson and Charles Oliveira to a heavyweight matchup pitting former UFC champion Junior dos Santos against rising contender Ciryl Gane, the UFC 256 fight card should deliver from start to finish.
We will compile the best of the best below — with all video footage courtesy of UFC and ESPN — and will continue to share the action as it rolls in. Enjoy!
