Deiveson Figueiredo beat Alex Perez by submission at 1:57 of round one in the main event of UFC 255 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Alex Perez had come in as the division's No. 11. In the co-main event, Valentina Shevchenko beat Jennifer Maia by unanimous decision after five rounds.
Across the twelve bouts that produced a result, five ended by knockout, one by submission and six on the judges' scorecards — six stoppages in twelve fights. Every decision was unanimous: not one result divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Deiveson Figueiredo, who stopped Alex Perez at 1:57 of round one, and two of the six finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Sasha Palatnikov's knockout of Louis Cosce, 12 minutes and 47 seconds in. End to end, the twelve fights filled two hours and 23 minutes of cage time.
