The former ONE flyweight MMA world champion has seen many ups and downs in his fighting career and any disappointment he experiences is just another opportunity to learn, grow, and adapt.
That's why Moraes chooses to look at the positives and the silver linings every chance he gets:
"Like I always say," Moraes began telling Party Starter Radio. "It's important to celebrate your victory because it's your life. Sometimes you lose but you're going to celebrate, sometimes you're going to be a little bit bad, but you have to celebrate."
