Moraes has spoiled the party in Manila, Philippines, with a unanimous decision victory over Eustaquio in front of his home fans.

'Mikinho' used his superior grappling skills to set up several submission attempts, such as the rear-naked choke, heel hook, banana split, and guillotine throughout the match. The Team Lakay representative survived all of them to see the full five rounds of the championship bout.

However, the American Top Team and Constrictor Team athlete carved out a unanimous decision victory to reclaim the 26-pound golden belt.
