Sarah “Cheesecake” Moras (6-6 MMA, 3-5 UFC)

Bantamweight (135lbs): 2-5 (UFC), The Ultimate Fighter Season 18 Competitor

Catchweight (143lbs): 1-0 (UFC)

Sarah Moras competed on Season 18 of TUF in 2013 at 135lbs. Sarah’s first fight in the UFC was at a catchweight of 143lbs, though she didn’t miss weight for the bout, her opponent Alexis Dufresne did.

Moras has struggled in the UFC as of late, losing four of her last five fights since early 2018. The sole fight that Moras won was in September of 2019 when she was able to get the ground and pound finish against Liana Jojua. Unfortuantely she missed weight ahead of this bout, coming in at 138lbs, so that put a damper on her win. Moras was 31 years old for this bout and is now 32, which could have very well have played a part in the tough weight cut.  Moras last fought in May of 2020 when she lost a unanimous decision to Sijara Eubanks, and will now again fight in the bantamweight division at UFC Fight Island 7.
