BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil – When “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil” substitute
finalist Sergio Moraes heard the phone ring, he
assumed the news was bad.
“When they called me from the UFC, I thought I wasn’t fighting at all,”
Moraes told MMAjunkie.com through an interpreter.
Instead, “Serginho” now meets Cezar “Mutante” Ferreira at Saturday’s UFC
147 event in the finals of the “TUF: Brazil” middleweight tournament.
He replaces the man who beat him in the tourney semifinals, but Moraes
isn’t thinking about the past. His time is now.
