5 WSOF Fighters We'd Like To See In The UFC

2. Marlon Moraes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyhZxI1091U Weight Class: Bantamweight When Marlon Moraes (13-4-1) defeated UFC vet Miguel Torres at WSOF 1 by split decision, fans were shocked. Not by the decision - frankly Moraes deserved it - but by the fact that he was good enough to steal what had been a gimmie win from Torres. Well, no one told Marlon Moraes it was a gimmie win, and it just goes to show, there are no sure wins in MMA. After Torres, Moraes would go on a tear, winning all his WSOF matches, including finishes over Tyson Nam and Carson Beebe. Moraes, it seemed, was a gem in the rough, someone who had flown under the radar prior to breaking out in the WSOF. Moraes is now one of the biggest stars in the promotion, and has been very vocal about staying with the WSOF if the money is right. They might just get to keep him as a result - the WSOF has been giving decent money to their top talent, and the UFC may not want to match it - but we'd still love to see how he would fare against someone like T.J. Dillashaw or Urijah Faber.
