Sheymon Moraes early Friday was an unhappy WSOF fighter. Now, he’s a happy free agent.
It took a lot of effort, but after requesting his release from his longtime home, WSOF finally granted his wish. The organization parted ways with Moraes on Friday afternoon, per MMAFighting.com.
Moraes hasn’t fought since a July win over veteran Luis Palomino at WSOF 31. The one-time bantamweight title challenger’s four-fight deal with the organization came to a close after that bout.
Moraes was in talks with WSOF, and the plan was to sign a new contract and fight on the New York City card on New Year’s Eve.
