The UFC made its first international stop of the year Saturday with UFC on ESPN+ 2, which took place at Centro de Formacao Olimpica do Nordeste in Fortaleza, Brazil, and streamed entirely on ESPN+.

The bantamweight contender avenged his only UFC loss in the main event when he outclassed Raphael Assuncao (27-6 MMA, 11-3 UFC) for a first-round submission in their rematch. Moraes’ win closed out the show, but he wasn’t the only one on the card to add to his resume with a big performance.
