UFC 256 start time -- Figueiredo vs. Moreno: Live stream, fight card, prelims, PPV price, TV channel

Here's everything you need to know to catch the UFC 256 event on Saturday in Las Vegas

As the UFC continues to navigate impressively through the COVID-19 pandemic, the promotion's final pay-per-view of the year felt as though a year's worth of bad luck caught up to it. UFC 256 lost planned championship fights involving champions Amanda Nunes, Kamaru Usman and Petr Yan, but the UFC was able to piece together a short-notice title fight for Saturday night between flyweight champ Deiveson Figueiredo and top challenger Brandon Moreno.

Figueiredo and Moreno both picked up victories at November's UFC 255, creating a very unique situation of a title fight featuring two fighters who competed just one month prior to the event. Figueiredo will be attempting to make the second successful defense of his championship after submitting Alex Perez at UFC 255.

Plus, some of UFC's top prospects are back in action on Saturday night. Mackenzie Dern is in a featured bout against Virna Jandiroba at 115 pounds. She has won two straight fights this year by first-round submission. And Chase Hooper, the 21-year-old phenom, is back when he takes on Peter Barrett to open the event. Hooper lost a decision to Alex Caceres in his most recent contest, his first professional loss.
