Predicting it now after he was whitewashed by Magomedsharipov. I haven't watched all of his WSOF fights, but for a Brazilian to be totally dominated on the ground must be a shock to the system.

This may come as a surprise to you, but not all Brazilian fighters are grappling experts...Sheymon is a striker, not much of a grappler
 
I get it that he's a Muay Thai stylist, he was still taken down at will and controlled with ease. As good as Zabit is, Moraes looked undersized from the beginning. The fact that he was controlled on the ground and ultimately submitted leads me to think that he'll go back to bantanweight. I haven't searched for any past interviews, but does anyone know if there was a particular reason he moved up in weight while he was in the WSOF??
