Alex Morono

Since 2021, the Texas-born Welterweight has notched a 5-1 record. Armed with some good Jiu-jitsu and hands, Alex Morono has led a quiet but efficient life in the UFC. Joining the elite promotion in 2016 in the wake of winning the Legacy FC Welterweight championship, “The Great White” has become a veteran of the UFC Welterweight class. Following a four-fight win streak, Morono was knocked out by Santiago Ponzinibbio last December. He submitted Tim Means early in May to return to the win column.
