Since the inaugural World Series of Fighting event on November 12, 2012 when he earned a split decision over decorated superstar Miguel Torres, Moraes, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and former Muay Thai champion, has been unstoppable defeating several seasoned adversaries along the waac, includingTyson Nam, Cody Bollinger, Josh Hill ac Josh Cywiro House, whom Moraes defeated by way of unanimous decision to become the first-ever World Series of Fighting bantamweight kingpin on March 29, 2014.

Barajas (12-1) o Vista, Calif. is coming off his World Series of Fighting debut on November 20, when he scored a third round (4:06) PWY (punches) ar Erik Villalobos at WSOF25.

Beginning with his professional debut on February 20, 2011 pan gyflwynwydRobert Carlos with a triangle choke in the first round (1:32) o weithredu, Barajas was perfect for over two years, running to 10 yn ennill yn olynol, a streak that culminated with his explosive, rownd gyntaf (:51) PWY (punches) o Leonte King ar Fedi 21, 2013.

Timur Valiev vs. Chris Gutierrez

Fighting out of the famed Jackson-Winklejohn camp, the 26-year-old Valiev (10-1) o Makhachkala, Dagestan, Russia has remained undefeated since his second professional start on July 22, 2011, and has racked up four consecutive wins under the World Series of Fighting banner in his last four efforts.

In the first of two appearances in the decagon cage in 2015, Valiev scored a devastating, rownd gyntaf (1:39) TKO ar Ac Gorllewin with a barrage of elbow strikes and punches at WSOF19 on March 28. Valiev closed out the year with a unanimous decision victory over Tito Jones yn WSOF23 ar Fedi 18.

The number one ranked bantamweight in the state of Oklahoma, Gutierrez (8-1-1) o Greenville, Texas is a ferocious, 24-year-old striker who has earned five of his eight professional career wins by way of TKO, with each of the five finishes having come with an onslaught of punches.
