Morning Report: Marlon Moraes calls out Dominick Cruz and Cody Garbrandt, Garbrandt responds

This weekend, the UFC will crown a new bantamweight champion when Petr Yan and Jose Aldo lock horns at UFC 251 on ‘Fight Island’. Unfortunately for one man, that leaves him out in the cold and it sounds like he’s not happy with the situation.

Top contender Marlon Moraes is currently the number one ranked bantamweight in the world and is coming off a split decision win over Jose Aldo at UFC 245. But despite beating Aldo, it is the former two-time featherweight champion (and current sixth-ranked bantamweight) who is getting a shot at the vacant title.
