Thiago Moises

Brazil

Brutally finished in Vegas
LightweightUFC
May 17, 2025
Moises lost to Jared Gordon via KO (punches) at 3:37 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The biggest flaw in Moises' defensive arsenal is a lack of durability. That said, no one expected him to be finished in brutal fashion by a 36-year-old opponent in a pick 'em fight. Thiago was never able to get out of the starting block. He gave up an early takedown and some control time before working his way back to his feet. It was at that point he ate a right hand which finished him on the spot. Moises has alternated losses and wins in his past six fights dating back to January 2023, so his roster spot ins't in jeopardy, but he has the look of a .500 fighter, or worse, moving forward.

Gets right back in win column
LightweightUFC
January 11, 2025
Moises defeated Trey Ogden via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Moises wasn't the least bit competitive his last time out, a unanimous decision defeat to L'udovit Klein last June, so it was nice to see him rebound against Ogden. Moises started slowly, but he made a point of damaging his opponent with low kicks. That paid dividends later, as one big shot dropped Ogden to the mat in Round 2. Moises then caught a lucky break in Round 3 after Ogden landed a takedown, only to lose position and end up on his back. The Brazilian took full advantage of the dominant position to earn the win. Set to turn 30 years of age in late-March, Moises has alternated wins and losses in his last five fights dating back to January 2023.
Expected to fight in January
LightweightUFC
September 29, 2024
Moises is expected to fight Trey Ogden in a lightweight bout scheduled for Jan. 11th, Damon Martin of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Moises is expected to fight Ogden; however, the location and details of the event are currently unknown. The 29-year-old holds an 18-8-0 record but has lost two of his last three contests. Moises lost his last contest against L'udovit Klein via unanimous decision in June.
Not competitive in Louisville loss
LightweightUFC
June 8, 2024
Moises lost to L'udovit Klein via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Louisville, Kentucky.
ANALYSIS
There's no shame in losing to Klein, who is a capable opponent, but the fact Moises was totally dominated and not the least bit competitive in a pick 'em fight is highly concerning. Thiago got cracked with a high kick early on before getting dropped late in Round 1. He was lucky to survive that flurry, as he was to survive a flurry after getting dropped again late in Round 3. In between, he did next to nothing offensively. Moises has plenty of talent, but a 3-4 record in his past seven fights dating back to July 2021 isn't going to get the job done in a deep lightweight division.
Klein fight on tap

April 3, 2024
Moises is scheduled to compete against L'udovit Klein in a lightweight fight at the UFC's June 8 event set for an undisclosed location, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Both lightweights are scheduled to compete against each other after dominating late-notice replacements for their previous fights. Moises defeated Mitch Ramirez on March 16, just a little over two weeks after the latter took up the fight. Meanwhile, Klein defeated AJ Cunningham, who fought in under a week's notice.
