Marlon Moraes makes his way back to the PFL Smart Cage.
Times have been tough for the former UFC title challenger who has lost his last six fights by TKO, but Moraes looks to put the past behind him when he takes on the undefeated Gabriel Braga at PFL 4.
Round 1:
Braga fires off a few deep kicks that don’t find their target. Braga lands a leg kick and then a body kick. Moraes clips Braga with a left hook. Braga lands leg kicks from the outside. Both men trade kicks to the body. Moraes lands a heavy headkick. Braga returns with a punch and then puts down Moraes with a straight right hand. Braga lands three more punches on the ground for good measure before the fight is called off by the referee.
Official result: Gabriel Braga defeats Marlon Moraes via KO (punch) in round 1 (3:02)
Marlon Moraes would call it a career after the unfortunate result.
