A pair of bantamweight sluggers was added to the upcoming Norfolk card, as Farah Hannou reported John Dodson will square off with former World Series of Fighting champion, Marlon Moraes. While the UFC hasn’t made the matchup official, Dodson later announced the matchup himself on his Twitter account.
John Dodson (19-8) has been alternating wins and losses since 2015, gathering wins over Zach Makovsky, Manny Gamburyan and, most recently, Eddie Wineland in April. Meanwhile, he was bested by current flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson and John Lineker. Dodson returned to bantamweight following his loss to Johnson at UFC 191 in September 2015.
