UFC Forteleza: Assuncao vs. Moraes 2 - Winners and Losers

There wasn’t a lot of hype around UFC Fortaleza. Raphael Assuncao and Marlon Moraes aren’t exactly known to the casual fans and Jose Aldo specifically asked not to be in the main event so he could avoid a five-round fight. However, everything came together beautifully and all those who tuned in walked away satisfied. Of the six main card fights, five of them saw a finish, none beyond the second round. Moraes made it hard to ignore his calls for a title shot with his win over Assuncao and Aldo reminded us he’s still one of the best featherweights in the world.
