World champion of Jiu-Jitsu, Sérgio Moraes made a beautiful performance at his debut in Bellator FC, submitting Josh Martin with a triangle choke. After the performance, the black belt was called to fight at the middleweight tournament, which will start in October. In interview to TATAME.com, the fighter commented about the opportunity and guaranteed that, even focused in the MMA, will never leave the Jiu-Jitsu competitions.

"I received this invitation after my victory, I’ll be at Bellator’s GP and I’ll work, train as much as I can, improve everything that I have to improve, correct some flaws and, God willing, bring this title to Brazil. I love Jiu-Jitsu, I’ll always raise the flag of the modality and always fight the championship when I can", said Moraes, who was happy with the comment of his manager, Wallid Ismail, affirming that he would soon be the best pound for pound in the world, but recognized that still has much road ahead. "This is what I would like most... I cheer for this to happen for real, but, for this to come truth, I still have to work and a lot and certainly it won’t miss work or disposition from me", concluded the fighter.
