The Mexican's high performance had consequences for Albazi, who had to be hospitalized immediately after the fight. According to the UFC, 'The Prince' was sent to the hospital for a precautionary CT scan of his head and face.

There is an explanation for all this caution with Albazi. In addition to having his face badly bruised after the beating inflicted by Moreno, the Iraqi was away from the UFC for 16 months due to heart surgery and injuries that could have left him paralyzed if left untreated.

At 31, Albazi had his six-fight winning streak snapped and suffered his first loss in the UFC. The fighter, ranked third in the flyweight rankings, was ready for a title fight against Alexandre pantoja, but after the defeat to Moreno, he will probably have to wait a little longer to try for the title.
