Watch the full episode of Countdown to UFC 256.
It’s the final UFC pay-per-view of 2020, and it’s a drastic change from what we had expected even a month ago.
Initially this was supposed to be Kamaru Usman vs. Gilbert Burns atop UFC 256, along with Amanda Nunes vs. Megan Anderson. We lost Usman vs. Burns until 2021, ditto Nunes vs. Anderson, but at least we still had Petr Yan vs. Aljamain Sterling. Nope, that’s gone too. So now the new headliner for UFC 256 is Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Brandon Moreno for the flyweight belt, which Figueiredo defended vs. Alex Perez just a couple of weeks back.
As is standard for PPV events, UFC 256 gets the Countdown treatment. You can watch the full video at the top of the page. Not only do you get Figueiredo-Moreno, but also Tony Ferguson vs. Charles Oliveira, and Kevin Holland vs. Jacare Souza.
