UFC 256 medical suspensions: Deiveson Figueiredo, Brandon Moreno both facing long sits after flyweight war

Brandon-Moreno-Deiveson-Figueiredo, UFC 256

The medical suspensions for last Saturday’s UFC 256 card have been revealed, and to nobody’s surprise, headliners Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno could be out for awhile.

Figueiredo, the UFC flyweight champion, and Moreno, the streaking top contender, collided in the UFC 256 main event, and battled tooth-and-nail for five, hectic rounds. At the end of the razor-close contest, both men were black and blue, and the cage-side judges scored the fight a majority draw. After this flyweight war, both men are facing six-month suspensions.

Others facing long suspensions after UFC 256 include co-main event loser Tony Ferguson, main card winner Mackenzie Dern, and undercard fighters Cub Swanson, Sam Hughes and Peter Barrett.
