“I’m in my 30s (years old). I have to get back to training. That's all I have. If I don’t do this, what will I do?”, asked the Brazilian.
With the defeat, Marlon missed the chance to win his first UFC belt. However, even after the defeat, the fighter believes he will be able to return to a good phase in his career.
“I'm going back to the Octagon. I’m going to leave everything I have inside”, said the Friborg native.
Upset with the defeat, Marlon gave short answers, however, he admitted that he was caught up in the audience's screams during the clash. The athlete had a good duel throughout the first round, attacking his opponent on the legs and hitting his opponent well in the face.
“I think I got lost halfway through the second round. I started making some mistakes that I couldn't have made. I think I heard the crowd a lot too and we started exchanging punches at close range, and that's what I shouldn't have done,” said Moraes.
The athlete, however, must wait for the medical suspension period applied by the Chicago commission to return to training and return to compete in fights in the division. Until the end of the fight, Marlon was number one in the rankings. Dana White, president of Ultimate, however, stated during the week that the next challenger for the category title would be the winner between aljamain sterling e Peter Munhoz. As Sterling defeated the Brazilian, the American is the closest to facing Cejudo in the future.
