PFL’s Sheymon Moraes talks money struggles, needing to drive Uber ahead of big win over Marlon Moraes

UFC veteran and current Professional Fighters League contender Sheymon Moraes could say he had an early Christmas present. After receiving an unexpected phone call to perform at last Friday’s PFL 10, the Brazilian accepted an offer to rematch former World Series of Fighting champ Marlon Moraes and it paid off.

Heading into the last months of 2022, Moraes revealed to Ag Fight how he was struggling to save money to make training camps and support himself and his family properly. For that reason, Sheymon decided to become an Uber driver until the end of the year, and that’s what he was doing up until the PFL offered him to take on Marlon again.
