More on Maryna Moroz’s UFC career

Moroz made her UFC debut back in 2015 when she defeated Joanne Calderwood via submission in the first round. She has then gone on to amass 6 wins with 4 losses in the promotion. The 31-year-old has also fought Angela Hill and former champion Carla Esparza among other notable names. She has had a few standout fights as well, winning ‘fight of the night’ once and performance of the night twice in her career. Impressively, she was able to collect the bonus right in her debut fight. Also, before making her debut with UFC, Moroz was an undefeated fighter with a record of five wins and zero losses. Her latest fight was against Jennifer Maia, which she lost via decision.

Although she is certainly a talented fighter, the Ukrainian’s decision to ply her trade in other fields must be interesting to fans. And although she will continue fighting, it certainly seems like Moroz’s career has taken off well outside the octagon. And considering complaints of fighter pay etc, that even saw Francis Ngannou leave the promotion, this might have been a smart decision from her end.

What do you think of her Playboy shoot? Let us know in the comments.
