Twitter Reacts To Marlon Moraes Submitting Raphael Assuncao At UFC on ESPN+ 2 | UFC Betting Sites

UFC on ESPN+ 2 went down from the Centro de Formação Olímpica do Nordeste in Fortaleza, Brazil last night (Sat. February 2, 2019).

In the main event of the night, Marlon Moraes silenced all doubt that he should receive the next shot at the UFC bantamweight championship. Moraes defeated Raphael Assuncao via first-round submission after dropping his fellow Brazilian with some heavy shots. After the fight, Moraes said he’s not sure champion TJ Dillashaw deserves to fight him.

He might just fight somebody else and let Dillashaw mess around with the “little boys” at 125 pounds. The mixed martial arts (MMA) community certainly had a lot to say about Moraes’ spectacular victory. Check out how they reacted on Twitter here:

Poor Assuncao. He is good enough that to beat him is to earn a title shot, but not good enough for his wins to get him one of his own.

That was two things from Moraes:

1. About as clear a statement a contender can send to earn a title shot

2. A supremely well-rounded, athletic performance showing off hand speed, ability, decision making and finishing instincts

Marlon Moraes is that dude.

When I met @MMARLONMORAES after his KO over Jimmie Rivera he told me “We’re both free agents who are doing great things in the UFC.” Meant a lot that he said that. Keep killing it man, you’re a class act…
