PFL sign Marlon Moraes just months after former UFC star's retirement vow

Former UFC star Marlon Moraes retired from fighting in April after losing his fourth consecutive fight, but has now announced his comeback by signing with the PFL.

Moraes, 34, left his gloves in the octagon after he was knocked out by Song Yadong at a UFC Fight Night event in March. The Brazilian insisted he was done with fighting, but said he would still stick around in the sport only to help his training partners get ready for their respective fights. Six months after his last fight, Moraes has made a U-turn on his retirement vow by signing with the PFL.

"Guys I wanna announce I’m coming home where I started," Moraes wrote. "I wanna thank the legend Ray Sefo and PFL, get ready for some fireworks. Thank you to all the fans for the good messages and even to the haters, I love you guys and without you this would not be possible."
