Main Event: Figueiredo vs. Moreno talking points
Figueiredo looks to follow up his recent first-round defence of the UFC flyweight title by delivering another spectacular performance less than a month later.
A well-rounded finisher, he caught the attention of the MMA world with emphatic stoppages over Joseph Benavidez (twice), Tim Elliot and John Moraga.
Figueiredo now aims to continue building his reputation as one of the best fighters on the planet by becoming the first person to finish Moreno.

• Nine wins by KO, eight via submission
• 11 first-round finishes

Moreno intends to make the most of his first UFC title shot by derailing Figueiredo. He returns to action on the same short-notice turnaround as the champion, after an impressive first-round finish of fellow top contender Brandon Royval.
Undefeated since his return to the UFC, Moreno distinguished himself with victories over Jussier Formiga and Kai Kara-France, and now plans on capturing UFC gold.

Former interim UFC lightweight champion Ferguson seeks to place himself back at the top of the rankings with another signature victory.
Among the most entertaining athletes on the UFC roster, he worked his way up the pound-for-pound ranks with thrilling wins over Donald Cerrone, Anthony Pettis and Kevin Lee.
Ferguson now has his sights set on securing another shot at the undisputed title by snapping the win streak of Oliveira.

• Former interim lightweight champion

Submission ace Oliveira goes for his eighth win in a row in the most important bout of his career.
The record holder for most submissions in UFC history, he proved himself to be one of the most dangerous competitors in the lightweight division with finishes of Kevin Lee, Nick Lentz and Jim Miller.
Oliveira now intends to deliver his most remarkable performance yet and insert his name into the title conversation.
• No. 7 ranked lightweight contender
• 19 wins by submission, eight via KO
