Sheymon Moraes is a Live Dog vs. Sodiq Yusuff

Prior to that bout, Moraes was best known for losing a title bid (just three years into his pro career) to then WSOF champion and now UFC bantamweight contender, Marlon Moraes. Sheymon Moraes had a bit of a Cody Garbrandt moment in the bout, swinging recklessly in the pocket before getting clocked by a tight left hook by the faster, more polished fighter.
He’ll face rising prospect Sodiq Yusuff at UFC on ESPN 2 in Philadelphia.
As of now, Moraes is the betting underdog.
