Moraes’ new career comes nearly a year to the date of his last MMA fight when he retired from the sport following a KO loss to Gabriel Braga at PFL 4.

Marlon Moraes isn’t the only former MMA fighter to be a Police officer as Jimmie Rivera is a cop in New Jersey while former UFC heavyweight Chris Daukaus was also a former Police officer in Philadelphia.
