UFC returns in December with Deiveson Figueiredo set to headline once again – this time taking on Brandon Moreno as he aims to retain his flyweight title.

Figueiredo defeated Alex Perez – who had stepped in as a late replacement for the injured Coby Garbrandt – in a bout last month, and his fight against the Mexican promises to be another exciting match-up for MMA fans.

Moreno himself was also on the card at UFC 255 in November, seeing off Brandon Royval in just one round, but he'll face tougher competition in the shape of Figueiredo.

The 32-year-old Brazilian has had an immense 2020, claiming the UFC Flyweight Championship in July by defeating Joseph Benavidez – who he'd beaten in another bout back in February while before over the weight limit.

Aside from the main match-up, there are a number of other intriguing contests set to take place on both the main and preliminary cards, so this looks set to be an excellent evening of action.
