Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fans have long wondered how current World Series of Fighting (WSOF) bantamweight champion Marlon Moraes would fare inside of the Octagon. The Brazilian has racked off five-straight title defenses en route to a 11-0 record since joining WSOF in 2012. Well, UFC onlookers may finally get their wish in 2017, as Moraes' manager, Ali Abdelaziz, recently shed light on his fighter's ongoing contract talks with UFC and potential opponent in his debut.
"I believe Marlon is capable of beating any bantamweight in the world," said Abdelaziz in a recent statement to MMA Junkie.
