UFC 255 is coming up on November 21st and anyone that’s feeling underwhelmed by this card should check out this UFC 255 Countdown show to remind themselves what a beast flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo is.

Figueiredo is set to face #4 ranked 125 pounder Alex Perez in what will be his first official title defense. “Deus Da Guerra” spent the first half of 2020 beating Joseph Benavidez for his belt. Their first fight saw Figgy miss weight and win shortly after a clash of heads … just enough controversy to set up an immediate rematch that he won even more emphatically.

Now no one is doubting Deiveson Figueiredo and some have a hard time imagining anyone will be able to wrest the title away from him. Enter Alex Perez, who is 6-1 in the UFC with 4 finishes.

Also featured: a women’s flyweight title fight between champ Valentina Shevchenko and #3 ranked Jennifer Maia.
