A Brazilian duel will put the WSOF bantamweight belt at stake, one of the biggest organizations in the world today. The champion Marlon moraes he will defend his second title on August 1st, in Las Vegas (USA), against his compatriot Sheymon Moraes.
Marlon won the organization's title in March last year by defeating Josh Rettinghouse. He defended the title for the first time in February of this year, beating Josh Hill in the decision. Before that, he faced Cody Bollinger, but the fight was not worth the belt as the challenger did not make weight.
Sheymon is undefeated in professional MMA, with seven wins in seven fights. At WSOF, he defeated Gabriel Solorio via split decision. Despite the identical surname, the two Brazilians are not related.
The WSOF main event in August will be a welterweight title fight between the champion, Rousimar Toquinho, and the challenger, Jake Shields.
