Drops late-notice debut
Mota lost to Cody Durden via unanimous decision (27-30, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The reigning Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) flyweight champion, Mota stepped in here for Keydson Rodrigues (undisclosed) on short notice, and it didn't go well. Mota allowed Durden to land 4-of-8 takedowns, and as a result, gave up 12:23 worth of control time, eliminating any chance he had of potentially winning a decision. Mota will certainly receive another shot with the company due to his willingness to "save" this fight, but little should be expected considering what we saw from Mota in this one.
