This one has a little bit of everything.
A pair of accomplished flyweights headline the main event. Two sisters will appear on the same fight card for the first time in 15 years. And in one of the early bouts, two Pennsylvania fighters face off in a quest to climb higher in the middleweight division.
And if that’s not enough, DraftKings Sportsbook is offering a promotion that enables new users to triple their winnings on any main card match.
Let’s take a quick look at UFC 255: Figueiredo vs. Perez, along with all the MMA wagers and betting odds available at the best PA sports betting apps.
