Marlon Moraes (17-4) successfully defended his bantamweight title for the fourth time at World Series of Fighting in Everett, Washington on Saturday night. After a competitive first round, Moraes dropped challenger Josh Hill (14-2) with a head kick early in the second, landing two lefts as referee Steve Newport rushed in to stop the fight.

Moraes won the inaugural bantamweight title in a decision over Josh Rettinghouse in March 2014. The main event of WSOF 32 was the second time they’d met in the cage; in his first defense of the belt, Moraes took a decision against Hill. Since then, Moraes has stopped Sheymon da Silva Moraes with a rear-naked choke and Joseph Barajas via leg kicks. He’s on a 12-fight win streak, and has gone 10-0 in WSOF.
Hill was on a four-fight win streak before this loss.
