UFC lightweight Thiago Moises believes his headlining fight with Islam Makhachev this weekend will be more competitive than the odds suggest.
At the age of just 26, Moises will be fighting in his first UFC main event after winning his last three fights. After defeats to top contender Beneil Dariush and rising prospect Damir Ismagulov succumbed him to a 1-2 record in the promotion, decision victories over Bobby Green and Alexander Hernandez, as well as a second-round achilles lock submission against Michael Johnson, have boosted the Brazilian into the 155-pound rankings.
But his quest for a fourth consecutive win is set to come up against a Dagestani brute in the form of Islam Makhachev. The Russian lightweight has dominated the likes of Drew Dober, Gleison Tibau and Arman Tsarukyan on his to way earning a place in the division’s top 10. He’ll look to extend his own winning streak to seven and secure a big name opponent with a win against Moises.
