John Moraga took the win over Willie Gates by submission at UFC on FOX 13 but his head must still be ringing. Gates, who stepped in at late notice for the injured Jussier Formiga, took advantage of a distracted Moraga to level him with this melon bruiser: Moraga somehow regained his composure to turn the tables on Gates and get the victory. Speaking to Joe Rogan after the bout, he paid credit to Gates for stepping in and taking the fight three weeks ago. Asked about the blindside punch, which Rogan explained as fair game as the referee had not stopped the bout, Moraga said, 'I guess I didn't hear him. It was pretty blatant but it is what it is.'Explore more on these topics:
