Ex-UFC Title Challenger John Moraga Drops TKO Loss On Canelo vs. Yildirim Undercard
Feb 28, 2021
Former UFC flyweight title challenger, John Moraga fell to 1-3 as a professional boxer last night — featuring on the undercard of Canelo Alvarez’s successful super middleweight title retention against Avni Yildirim.
Moraga, who began his professional boxing career back in 2012, had featured twenty-five times as a professional mixed martial artist — notching a 19-7 professional résumé. A former flyweight title challenger under the UFC’s banner, Moraga attempted to pry the 125-pound championship from the decorated, Demetrious Johnson back in July of 2013 — dropping a fifth round armbar loss to the Kentucky native.
