After knocking out Jimmie Rivera in the main event of UFC Fight Night 131 in June, Marlon Moraes has been left frustrated that his fellow UFC bantamweights are not stepping up to fight him.
Since dropping a split decision loss to Raphael Assuncao in his UFC debut last year, Moraes (21-5-1) has won three straight fights, including a decision against John Dodson and consecutive knockout wins against Aljamain Sterling and the aforementioned Rivera.
Speaking on The Ariel Helwani MMA Show earlier this week, Moraes expressed his disappointment towards the UFC for not being granted a 135-pound title shot after his win over Rivera.
