Tough break man. I feel for Moraes. I don’t think it’s lack of skill at all. If your chin can’t hold up against “bangers”, when you’re a banger, there’s only 1 result. Nothing away from Yadong, the kid is good! Powerful, quick, explosive! #UFCVegas50

My man Yadong spoke perfect all of the sudden ? Definitely been planning and practicing that one. Great fight. Great call out. Probably not getting accepted tho. #UFCVegas50 #AldovsCruz!
