Deiveson Figueiredo may not have gotten the complete decision, but the champion is still walking away with his title. Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno battled over five grueling rounds in Las Vegas at UFC 256 with both men landing massive shots and seeming to have an answer for each one. In the end, the judges scored the fight a majority draw with one judge siding with Figueiredo.
Figueiredo becomes the first champion complete this short of a turnaround -- 21 days -- between title defenses. Had it not been for an illegal low blow in the third round, he would have earned the decision on the other two judges' scorecards.

Elsewhere on the card, Charles Oliveira entered his name into the lightweight title conversation with a dominant decision over former interim champion Tony Ferguson. "Do Bronx" controlled the action from the outset and nearly submitted "El Cucuy" in the fist round with Ferguson somehow not tapping as his arm hyperextended from an armbar. Oliviera has now won eight fights in a row.
