If there were already strong competitors showing up on Saturday night for the “Fight of the Night” bonus at UFC 256, the two stars of the night took the award with a historic flyweight duel (up to 56.7 kg). Champion Deiveson Figueiredo took the belt, but Brandon Moreno sold dearly in a fight that ended with a majority draw, after a judge saw the Brazilian’s victory and two others scored equal points. They both charge an extra $ 50,000, which is about $ 253,000.
Officially, this is the second time that Deiveson Figueiredo takes the bonus in “fight of the night”, in addition to having already won one for “performance of the night”. Unofficially, the Brazilian also took $ 50,000 last month, when he beat Alex Pérez. If he didn’t make the list shortly after the event, Dana rewarded him with the amount and made the mistake that Deiveson was not among the chosen ones.

In addition to Deiveson and Moreno, two other fighters received the additional $ 50,000. One of them is the American Kevin Holland who achieved the fifth consecutive victory this year by knocking out Ronaldo Jacaré in the first round. And the other is Kyrgyz Rafael Fiziev, who also knocked out Renato Moicano in the first round.
