Two UFC flyweight championship belts will be on the line Saturday, as Deiveson Figueiredo defends his men's 125-pound championship for the first time, taking on Alex Perez, and Valentina Shevchenko defends the women's title against Jennifer Maia in the headlining bouts of UFC 255 at the promotion's Apex facility in Las Vegas.
The main card starts at 10 p.m. ET on pay-per-view, which fans can purchase here. Prelims are on ESPN2 and ESPN+ starting at 6:30 p.m.
Figueiredo (19-1) won the men's title in July with a first-round technical submission over Joseph Benavidez, whom he had also defeated in February. Both bouts were for a vacant title, and Figueiredo did not earn the belt with his first win because he missed weight prior to that bout.
Perez (24-5) has won three in a row, most recently a June TKO of Jussier Formiga, the only man to defeat Figueiredo.
Shevchenko (19-3) has defended her women's title three times, most recently with a third-round TKO of Katlyn Chookagian in February. In the last 10 years, Shevchenko has lost to no one other than two-division UFC champion Amanda Nunes.
Maia (18-6-1) earned her title shot by submitting presumed No. 1 contender Joanne Calderwood in August. She has won three of her last four fights.
