UFC 256 ‘Embedded,’ No. 1: Deiveson Figueiredo, Brandon Moreno looking fly

The UFC returns Saturday night with its final pay-per-view of the year, UFC 256, which features a quick turnaround flyweight title fight as top billing.

UFC 256 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and streams on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+.

In the main event, Deiveson Figueiredo will defend his 125-pound championship against Brandon Moreno just 21 days since both men last fought. And in the co-main event, Tony Ferguson looks to get back to his winning ways when he meets rising contender Charles Oliveira in a pivotal lightweight clash.

The first episode of “Embedded” follows the two headliners. Here’s the UFC’s description from YouTube:

Flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo prepares for a quick turnaround and convinces his entire team to go blond. Challenger Brandon Moreno watches fights with friends and family then shops for a four-piece suit.
