In search of redemption at this point in his career, Serginho will face a younger opponent with more fights in his professional record. Moraes, then, will have to stay focused and ignore his opponent's favoritism.

The last time he had a professional fight for Ultimate, the São Paulo native was defeated by his compatriot, Warlley alves. In a busy fight, Moraes was surprised by Warlley and ended up losing by knockout in the third round. The fight was valid for UFC 237, which took place in May, in Rio de Janeiro.

The duel against Krause will mark Serginho's 14th commitment to the UFC. In 13 opportunities, the Brazilian won in eight clashes, was beaten in four and has a draw.

His opponent, James, despite being four years younger, has a greater number of professional clashes. The North American has already competed in 33 battles, winning 26 and was defeated on seven occasions. Krause is going through a good moment in his career. The fighter has won in his last five fights. This will be James' 11th fight in Ultimate. He comes from victory over Moraes' last executioner, Warlley alves, in August last year.
