[UFC-PPV FREE] UFC 255 LIVE STREAM REDDIT Perez vs Figueiredo
The UFC 255 final was a bit of a mess, but we can expect a good show - I sure would have liked to see Cody Garbrandt in the Octagon against Deiveson Figueiredo because he remains a “bigger name” than Alex Perez because of his accomplishments. He was once a world champion and I was curious how he was going to perform at 125 pounds, already with the weigh-in whether that was a challenge for him.
However, while Perez is not as famous as Garbrandt, he remains a great replacement for this card. His last victory he recorded against the only fighter who beat Figueiredo in his career, Jussier Formiga.
Still, the fact remains that Perez remains the underdog in this battle for the flyweight belt. That may make him more dangerous, as it wouldn't be the first time that a fighter overlooked by the book-takers has surprised.
Perez is a fighter who works in combinations and he has power. If he is able to quickly apply pressure to Figueiredo in their confrontation, he could sow doubt in the champion's mind. Perez is on a surge of confidence with his latest victory in the Octagon.
