Sergio Pettis' superior boxing was too much for John Moraga to handle. For the entire duration of the fight, Pettis was comfortable enough to pick Moraga apart from a safe distance with his hands, scoring a unanimous decision win at UFC Fight Night: Penn vs. Rodriguez. On Twitter, pro fighters praised the performance.

I want Pettis to win simply because he looks like a Walt Disney version of his big brother #ufcphoenix

Good to see Moraga supporting the Rebel Alliance with that back tattoo. #ufcphoenix

Moraga's back tat makes it look like he's sponsored by @InvictaFights #ufcphoenix
