Snaps losing streak with strong effort
Moroz defeated Sabina Mazo via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC on ESPN 2 on Saturday in Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
It was easily the best performance of Moroz's brief UFC tenure. Coming off back-to-back losses and quite possibly fighting for her job, Moroz did just enough to keep Mazo off balance on the feet and although she landed just one of nine takedown attempts, her aggressiveness kept the debuting Mazo from doing any real damage of her own. Moroz is back over the .500 mark (4-3) over the course of her first seven UFC bouts.

New opponent in Argentina
Moroz will now face UFC newcomer Ariane Lipski in a flyweight matchup at UFC Argentina on Nov. 17, Combate reports.
ANALYSIS
Moroz was originally scheduled to take on Veronica Macedo, but Macedo was forced to withdraw due to injury. Stepping up to replace her is the debuting Lipski, a Brazilian with a professional record of 11-3 (six knockouts, two submissions). While one would think Moroz might have an edge due to her UFC experience, Lipski is a former champion under the KSW banner that defended her flyweight title on multiple occasions.

Booked for flyweight fight in Argentina
Moroz will fight Veronica Macedo in a flyweight bout at UFC Argentina on Nov. 17.
ANALYSIS
Moroz will definitely have the experience edge in Argentina, as her opponent, Macedo, is only 22 years old and only has two UFC fights under her belt since 2016 (both of which were losses). Moroz, however, is on a bit of slide herself having dropped each of her last two fights via unanimous decision. Most recently, she fell to Angela Hill at UFC on FOX 28 back in February. Moroz still boasts a 3-3 record in the UFC and an 8-3 fighting record overall.
