Crazy to think that Moreno was cut from the UFC at one point. Glad he is back he is definitely one of my favorites. #ufc256

A lot of us are talking about this being Fight of the Year but we should also be talking about Deiveson Figueiredo being Fighter of the Year. Even though this was a draw, he still walked away with the title after a record breaking 2020.#UFC254

Figueiredo vs Moreno. FOTY
Kevin Holland fighter of the year!

Flyweights make me wanna be better. You always see the craziest technical striking Match ups and the most batshit scrambles. How’s about a rematch where they can prep for more than 2 weeks! #UFC256

That could very well be FOTY #UFC256

I’m not trying to be a bandwagon fan. But Brandon Moreno is 100 percent one of my favorite fighters. Absolute dog off the leash. I personally thought he won. But I’ll watch both of those dudes fights 365 days of the year.
