From the time he signed with the UFC, all Marlon Moraes has wanted to do is prove that he’s one of the best bantamweights on the planet.
Many believed the talented Brazilian had already done so during his impressive time competing under the World Series of Fighting banner, where he went 11-0, capturing the promotion’s bantamweight title and successfully defending it five times.
Others wanted to see him compete in the Octagon first, but quickly got on board with the idea when he went toe-to-toe with perennial contender Raphael Assuncao in his promotional debut.
