Video: Dan Hardy breaks down Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Alex Perez at UFC 255

After claiming the UFC flyweight title in emphatic fashion, newly crowned 125-pound king Deiveson Figueiredo will look to make the first defense of his crown at UFC 255.

Figueiredo (19-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) will put his title on the line for the first time against Alex Perez at UFC 255. The Brazilian will look to cement his position at the top of the division with a fourth straight finish, while Perez (24-5 MMA, 6-1 UFC) will look to defeat his second Brazilian in successive fights after finishing the only man to defeat Figueiredo, Jussier Formiga, in one round at UFC 250.

Ahead of their bout, former UFC welterweight title challenger and UFC analyst Dan “The Outlaw” Hardy invites us into “The War Room,” as he takes a deep dive into the matchup and offers his technical pointers ahead of the fight. Check out his pre-fight assessment via the video above.

UFC 255 takes place Saturday, Nov. 21 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The event streams live on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN+.
