Divison Ficurido and Brandon Moreno had already shown an incredible heart by agreeing to the title of UFC 256 within a month of both winning at UFC 255. Playing in the ring took heart, courage and determination to another level as the pair battled with the majority draw in the battle for Ficurido’s Flyweight Championship. As a result, Ficurido is the champion. The fight not only earned a place in the conversation for the best fight of the year, but also received praise from UFC President Dana White as the biggest fight in the history of the flyweight division. It set a record by combining all-time hikes for strikes that landed in a flyweight fight at 269. From the opening round, Moreno and Ficurido exchanged wild power strikes. Eventually, in the third round there was a decisive strike by Fikurido’s accidental low blow, resulting in a point exemption that led to a direct draw on two of the three official scorecards. Following the appearance of several eye piercings by the champion there was a low blow, one of which was caught by the referee and Moreno suffered a break in the healing process. “The referee did his job, you know,” Ficurido said after the fight. “I threw an eyeball in the crash, threw a low kick in the crash. He did his job. It’s not my place to say that, but I was able to go there and put up a good fight. My fans got used to it. I went out there and saw them get knocked out in the first round, but I I fought all five rounds and I think it’s a good performance. “Each time one fighter – one or more – strikes with a changeable impact, the other burns again with their own barbaric chatter. While the duo’s performance was already impressive, Ficurido said he also dealt with a medical issue the night before the fight. “I felt like a champion there,” Ficurido said. “Every round I felt like a champion. Something happened to me yesterday, I had a stomach infection, I was in the hospital until 2am, I didn’t know how I could perform. Hopefully, I did a good job. I came here and had my blood, sweat and I shed tears. ”Couldn’t get enough boxing and MMA? Get the latest in the world of war games from the top two in the business.

When the action appeared to fall due to an injury from blocking Ficurido’s feet, Moreno said it was actually an issue on his shoulder because he threw several hard jabs through the fight. A close, official score after five rounds is 48-46, 47-47 and 47-47. With no clear winner and no fight, any true MMA fan will be excited to see it again, and it only makes sense to reconsider. “We need a review,” Moreno said after the fight. “We need that review. For me, for Ficurido, for the fans, for everyone.” The champion was not put off by the idea of running after this instant classic, this time until he had some time to recover and prepare. “If they want to put him in front of me for the next fight, I’m ready for it,” Ficurido said. “I want to tell Dana and everyone that I’m always open to anything. In 20 days I weighed in and I was able to get back here. With a full training camp, I can neutralize his game. But I need to go back and spend some time with my family and relax for a while.” November The first such decision in the UFC title fight since 2016 came when then-welterweight champion Tyrone Woodley and Stephen Thompson drew their first meeting at UFC 205. Although a draw was never a satisfactory result, the challenge was exciting despite not leaving the belt with the Ectacon. “I enjoy this moment so much,” Moreno said. “I feel so happy. I know I need a belt, but that’s it. I want to be with my family and my kids.” CBS Sports brought you all the results on Saturday Highlights of the UFC Fight Night Card.
