Fact Check: World Series of Fighting 32

If the World Series of Fighting organization has a face, it belongs to Marlon Moraes.

Moraes will put his bantamweight championship on the line in the World Series of Fighting 32 headliner, as he confronts Josh Hill in a rematch on Saturday at the Xfinity Arena in Everett, Washington. The Brazilian bested Hill across five rounds in their first encounter, handing the Canadian his first career defeat while walking away with a unanimous decision at WSOF 18 in February 2015.

A homegrown star for the World Series of Fighting, Moraes will carry an 11-fight winning streak into the cage. The muay Thai stylist and Brazilian jiu-jitsu brown belt last competed at WSOF 28 on Feb. 20, when he needed just 73 seconds to cut down Joseph Barajas with leg kicks and retain his 135-pound title. Moraes, 28, has won all nine of his WSOF bouts, finishing five of them.

Hill, meanwhile, has rattled off four straight wins since his failed first encounter with Moraes. The 29-year-old Hamilton, Ontario, native last fought at a regional event in Canada on April 9, as he captured a three-round unanimous decision from the well-traveled Bendy Casimir. Hill has gone the distance 10 times in his 15-fight career.
