Aldo entered tonight’s fight looking to rebound, this after suffering a decision loss to Alex Volkanovski in his most recent effort at May’s UFC 237 event in Brazil.

Meanwhile, Marlon Moraes also entered UFC 245 looking to get back on track. ‘Magic’ was coming off a TKO loss to reigning UFC bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo in his most recent Octagon appearance at UFC 238.

Tonight’s highly anticipated bantamweight fight proved to be a very competitive affair. Moraes was able to hurt Aldo early on with a head kick, but the Brazilian legend battled back to rock ‘Magic’ on multiple occasions in his own right. After three rounds of exciting action, Moares was awarded a split decision victory from the judges in attendance.
