In an interview with Combate, Moises explained why he was emotional about the win. Not only was Thiago afraid of losing his third fight in a row and getting released, the Brazilian shed some light on all the hardships he had to go through in order to get into the UFC.
“I yelled, I cried,” Moises said. “I got very emotional because I was coming off two tough losses that happened during difficult moments in my life, but I kept working.
