Kris Moutinho would have liked a little more time to scrap with Sean O’Malley.
That may sound surprising given the one-sided nature of their bantamweight contest at UFC 264 this past Saturday, but from Moutinho’s perspective, the complexion of the bout was changing in the final round. Moutinho was the aggressor throughout the contest even though it was clear that O’Malley was dominating the fight and he pressed forward until referee Herb Dean waved off the bout with less than 30 seconds remaining and Moutinho still on his feet.
Moutinho spoke to MMA Fighting about his memorable UFC debut and the shift that he felt in the final five minutes.
