Bummer. Moraes could've really leapfrogged to a near title shot inside of 6 months in the UFC. That being said, 2 fights and 2 weight cuts is a lot inside a month and likely, a third would've been ill advised. Fans are never big on saying you're down then not be (ask Kevin Casey who called for Gordon Ryan in Combat JiuJitsu Rules then backed out when King Ryan agreed).
Anyhow, the end of year card is passable and frankly after the RDA/Lawler, Pettis/Poieir and Alvarez/Garethje cards, I'm well and beyond satisfied with the UFC's fall resume for 2017. And the card next week still has Khabib vs Barboza as the co-main.
