Marlon Moraes mötte under natten Jimmie Rivera under UFC Utica i New York, där han segrade via en knockout tidigt i första ronden. Han har nu ett record på sammanlagt 21-5-1 och det ser nu ut som att Moraes kan bli den nästa att få titelchans i bantamvikt.

Marlon Moraes is making a serious argument that he is the best 135 pounder in the world. I guess there is only one way to find out… #UFCUtica

I think he should get next shot for sure he is finishing people even though they are hype trains 🚂 https://t.co/NCqsFGEdun

I’d fight Rivera in a heartbeat, if Cruz doesn’t wanna go. https://t.co/BdRHSRAw3L

Marlon Moraes is 16-1 in his past 17 fights. His only loss in that stretch was a split decision to Raphael Assuncao #UFCUtica
