The former UFC Featherweight Champion will be making his return to the octagon in the bantamweight division.
The former UFC Featherweight Champion is looking to bounce back from his loss against Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 237. Aldo’s performances since dropping the belt have been a mixed bag, as the Brazil native has only won two bouts since his title fight against Max Holloway. Aldo’s professional record stands at 28 wins and 5 losses.
Moraes is also looking to gain back some momentum after losing his Bantamweight title match to Henry Cejudo at UFC 238. Before his loss to the two-division champion, Moraes was on a four-fight winning streak. The New Jersey native’s professional mixed martial arts record stands at 22 wins, 6 losses, and 1 no contest.
