UFC 256 poster released: Tony Ferguson vs. Charles Oliveira and a historic title-fight turnaround

The UFC puts on its 11th and final pay-per-view of the year on Dec. 12 with UFC 256.

The event is headlined by a flyweight title fight between Deiveson Figueiredo (20-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) and Brandon Moreno (18-5-1 MMA, 6-2-1 UFC). Both men compete just 21 days after their wins at UFC 255, making it the fastest title-fight turnaround in company history.

In the co-headliner, former interim UFC lightweight champion Tony Ferguson (25-4 MMA, 15-2 UFC) returns to action against Charles Oliveira (29-8 MMA, 17-8 UFC), who is on a seven-fight winning streak.

The UFC released the official poster for the event on Thursday, which can be seen below (via Twitter):
