The 30-year-old Brazilian recently took to Twitter where he blasted current UFC bantamweight kingpin T.J. Dillashaw for considering a fight with newly crowned UFC flyweight champion Henry Cejudo.

Marlon Moraes then turned his attention towards two of the UFC’s best bantamweights in Dominick Cruz and Raphael Assuncao who he challenged to throw down.

“@tjdillashaw why don’t you pick on somebody your own size and keep the division moving. You can go down and fight Henry after I knock you out and get my belt! Don’t worry it’ll be quick! If you can’t handle the division, let’s go @DominickCruz @RaphaAssuncao I’m starving!” – Marlon Moraes

Marlon Moraes was last seen in action in the headliner of June’s UFC Fight Night event in Utica where he squared off with Jimmie Rivera who entered the bout riding a twenty-fight win streak.

“Magic” needed just 33-seconds to knockout “El Terror” with a brutal head kick.

Prior to that sensational finish, Marlon Moraes was coming off an equally impressive knockout victory over Aljamain Sterling who he crushed with a nasty knee.
