UFC bantamweights Marlon Moraes and Jimmie Rivera are set to throw down in a battle for division supremacy on Friday, June 1. That being said, it would appear that Rivera has more of a beef with his opponent’s manager than with Moraes.
Rivera and Moraes will headline UFC Fight Night 131 inside the Adirondack Bank Center in Utica, New York. Speaking to UFC correspondent Laura Sanko, Rivera revealed why he is not happy with Moraes’ manager.
“It’s not a rivalry with him. It’s more his manager. His manager was very disrespectful to my wife, so I’m taking it out on him. His manager hides behind his fighters.”
