Marlon Moraes edged out Jose Aldo via split decision at UFC 245. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the fight.
Jose Aldo’s bantamweight debut did not go the way he expected, but it does not mean he didn’t put on a good performance. After three very close rounds against Marlon Moraes, the former featherweight champion dropped a split decision loss to ‘Magic’ Marlon at UFC 245. On Twitter, not all fighters agreed with the result.
Ok here’s where it starts to get serious. Aldo next !! #ufc245 let’s go !!

Aldo is cutting off the cage and moving foward beautifully , I see moraes starting to tire but Jose has to throw a little more volume to break him. Everyone forgets moraes cuts a lot of weight too #ufc245

Beautiful display of striking and cage control by @josealdojunior. He’s so sharp with cutting Moraes off.

I think 29-28 Moraes. Very close.

Aldo dedicated himself to a weight change and looking better than ever . Excellent job being a pro and handling the weight cut and ultimately living a healthier life lowering his weight #UFC245

So fucked up. Feel for you @josealdojunior Same judges as Wichita apparently. Judges need to be held accountable when they ruin the sport like this … JMHO
