The UFC’s next pay-per-view card is right around the corner, and recently the official poster for the November 21st card was shared out by the promotion.
Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Alex Perez
In the main event for UFC 255, new flyweight champ Deiveson Figueiredo (19-1) will battle Alex Perez (24-5).
Figueiredo was originally schedule to fight former bantamweight champ Cody Garbrandt, but the latter had to withdraw due to a bicep injury. Figueiredo secured the flyweight belt Henry Cejudo vacated a while back, by choking out Joseph Benavidez in July.
Perez, meanwhile, stopped Jussier Formiga with leg kicks in June and has won three in a row.
In the co-headliner, flyweight queen Valentina Shevchenko (19-3) will battle Jennifer Maia (18-6-1).
Shevchenko took out Katlyn Chookagian in February and has won five in a row. Maia, meanwhile, is coming off a submission win over Joanne Calderwood in August. Prior to that she lost via decision to Chookagian in November.
