Still searching for first UFC win
BantamweightUFC
March 12, 2022
Moutinho lost to Guido Cannetti via TKO (punches) at 2:07 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Making his second appearance with the UFC, Moutinho is best remembered for absorbing 230 significant strikes from Sean O'Malley in his UFC debut last July. In further proof it's impossible to predict what will happen in this sport, Cannetti -- who is nowhere near the talent O'Malley is -- got him out of there with just 28 strikes landed in this one. The UFC generally gives fighters a third opportunity with the company even if they come up short in their first two bouts, but Moutinho may be the rare exception due to how little he has shown thus far. There's nothing to see here.

Legendary effort in UFC debut
BantamweightUFC
July 10, 2021
Moutinho lost to Sean O'Malley via TKO (punches) at 4:33 of Round 3 at UFC 264 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The UFC has a new fan favorite. Taking this fight on short notice, Moutinho ate everything O'Malley threw at him and then some. He deserved to see the final bell, but referee Herb Dean decided to half the action with about 30 seconds left despite the fact Moutinho was continuing to push forward and nowhere near finished. Yes, it is the referee's job to protect the fighter, but Moutinho deserved the right to see the final bell given how hard he competed. No one knew anything about Moutinho coming into the night, but he's cardio looked exceptional and his chin is obviously made of granite. He deserves a $75,000 (for tonight only) Fight of the Night bonus given how hard he competed.
