World Series of Fighting (WSOF) Bantamweight champion Marlon Moraes will defend his title against Josh Hill at WSOF 18 on Feb. 12, according to multiple sources.
The two 135-pounders were originally set to tangle at WSOF 13, but Hill had to pull out due to injury and was replaced by Cody Bollinger. Moraes handily polished Bollinger off via rear-naked choke in the second round of a three round non-title fight.
Moraes - riding a six-fight winning streak - counts Carson Beebe, and former WEC Bantamweight kingpin Miguel Torres among his WSOF scalps, while Hill sports a 10-0 career record and knocked out Mike Adams in his WSOF debut in June, 2014.
