ALEX MORONO

Representing the United States, Alex Morono has been a mainstay in the welterweight division since arriving at the premier organization in 2016. Before joining the global stage, the Houston native held a title in Legacy Fighting Championship. The orthodox fighter holds black belts in Taekwondo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, contributing to a versatile approach inside the cage. After moving his primary training base to Fortis MMA in 2018, he secured high-profile victories against competitors such as Donald Cerrone, Tim Means, and Court McGee during his tenure.

Heading into this matchup, Morono holds an overall professional mark of 24-13 with one no-contest. His recent activity shows a difficult stretch of competition. He enters the event following four consecutive setbacks, including a unanimous decision loss to Daniil Donchenko, a knockout defeat against Carlos Leal, and split or unanimous results against Daniel Rodriguez and Niko Price. His last victory occurred in April 2024 against Court McGee.
