Marlon Moraes to defend bantamweight title against Joseph Barajas at WSOF 28

Marlon Moraes (15-4-1) will defend his World Series of Fighting (WSOF) bantamweight title against Joseph Barajas (12-1) Saturday, Feb. 20, in Garden Grove, California, at WSOF 28.

The event airs live on NBC Sports Network at 9 p.m. ET.

Since winning the WSOF bantamweight strap in March 2014 at WSOF 9, Moraes notched two title defenses—a decision victory over Josh Hill at WSOF 18 and a submission victory over Sheymon Moraes at WSOF 22 in August 2015.

A would-be third title defense came against Cody Bollinger at WSOF 13 in September 2014.
