UFC 256 is tonight, live from the APEX in Las Vegas. Tis the season for a great mid-winter fight card. Tonight’s UFC 256 Pay Per View main card on ESPN+ features some pretty marquee bouts, including Tony Ferguson is stepping up to boost the profile of the UFC 256 event. The card features former heavyweight champ Junior Dos Santos takes on up-and-coming UFC prospect Cyril Gane, an athletic and swift French kickboxer, at the very start of the PPV. Middleweight Jacare Souza is facing Kevin Holland, a fighter whose skills are rapidly catching up with his gift of trash talk, followed by a super competitive strawweight bout between Mackenzie Dern and Virna Jandiroba.
The UFC 256 fight card designed to appeal to the hardcore crowd. Tony Ferguson makes it an event in himself, honestly, so no matter what else happens on the UFC 256 stream on EXPN+, it’s safe to say that it will deliver, merely because of Tony Ferguson and his wild, unique fighting style.
