Ever since he punched his ticket to the UFC as a 23-year-old on Dana White's Contender Series, Thiago Moises has been on a wild ride, one which started when he was thrown into the deep end of the pool for his very first fight.
“My UFC debut was against Beneil Dariush. He may fight for the belt in the near future,” Moises pointed out in an interview with Sherdog. He acquitted himself well against Dariush in a competitive decision loss, kicking off a UFC run that has seen Moises develop under the bright Octagon lights, winning his way from prospect to contender.
