[ad_1]

In his first defense of the UFC flyweight belt, Deiveson Figueiredo hardly needed to break a sweat. With a guillotine 1m57s into the first round, the Paraguayan maintained the division title against Alex Pérez, in the main fight of UFC 255, on Saturday, in Las Vegas (USA). In an interview after the event, the “God of War” asked to return to the Octagon at the beginning of December to face Brandon Moreno, first place in the ranking, who also acted tonight and indicated the desire to face him.

In the other dispute for the title of the night there was no news. Jennifer Maia was tough and even managed to go round against Valentina Shevchenko, but the champion dominated most of the fight and clinched the flyweight belt by unanimous decision. “Bullet” applied good takedowns on the Brazilian and controlled well on the ground and hit and secured, as well as landing good shots from distance. This was Kyrgyzstan’s fourth successful belt defense.

Another fight that attracted attention, albeit on the preliminary card, took place between sharks Brandon Moreno and Brandon Royval. Currently in first place in the flyweight rankings, Moreno knocked out Royval in the closing seconds of the first round. Worse still for the loser was ending the confrontation with a dislocated shoulder and screaming in pain – still in the Octagon, before the official result, an athlete’s corner managed to put the limb in place.

Paul Craig beats Shogun does not shoot

Maurício Shogun and Paul Craig settled the scores tonight. The two light heavyweights had already met in November of last year and ended up tied in the judges’ opinion. This time it wasn’t for Shogun, who fought poorly and succumbed to his opponent’s blows. Craig won the Brazilian’s back in the middle of the second round and began a series of heavy blows to the head. Shogun felt the impact and only reacted when he patted the ground as a sign of giving up.
