The 13-bout UFC Fight Night: Moraes vs. Assuncao kicks off on ESPN+ starting at 5 p.m. ET. The action takes place in Fortaleza, Brazil and culminates with a tremendous main event featuring Marlon Moraes versus Raphael Assuncao. In his past 17 fights, dating back to December, 2011, Moraes has only lost once — to Assuncao. On Saturday, Moraes has an opportunity to get that one back and this time there’s more on the line as the winner is likely to get a title shot against current bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw.
