On the other hand, for Moraes, the results are not coming his way. He has struggled to put together a winning streak since his devastating loss to Henry Cejudo for the UFC bantamweight championship.
The 33-year-old has now fallen to 23-10-1 and has been finished in his last four outings. The only win ‘Magic‘ was able to get in his last six fights was a controversial split decision over Jose Aldo, who was making his bantamweight debut.
Song Yadong wants Dominick Cruz next after UFC Vegas 50 win
Song ‘The Kung Fu Monkey’ Yadong called out former UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz in the octagon interview for his next UFC bout. Hence, the young prospect has declared his intention to become a title contender in the division. A bout between Yadong (#14) and Cruz (#7) would be a stylistic treat for the fans.
