Gets outscrambled in loss
Moffett lost to Bryce Mitchell via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night 148 in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Moffett got dropped early in the first round Saturday but was able to lean on his wrestling to stay in the fight. The success was short-lived however, as Mitchell seemed to possess the better BJJ game on this night, hitting sweeps and threatening with submissions to get back to comfortable positions. Moffett notched a controversial win in his UFC debut when Chas Skelly was ruled to have passed out from a D'arce choke, and couldn't quite put the stamp on this bout to formally announce his arrival in the organization. Still, Moffett's wrestling and BJJ will likely serve to at least make him competitive going forward. He falls to 14-4 in professional MMA as a result of the loss, but will take home a $50,000 Fight of the Night bonus for his efforts.
