Brandon Moreno and 4 other UFC fighters who won fights with body shots

#2. Anthony Pettis vs. Donald Cerrone, UFC on Fox 6

Anthony Pettis is a curious case, featuring on this list as both a victim and dealer of vicious body shots. Back in 2013, both he and Donald Cerrone were at the peak of their powers as elite contenders in the UFC lightweight division.

Cerrone was riding a two-fight win streak that saw him paired with a surging 'Showtime' in a matchup booked for UFC on Fox 6.

At the onset of the bout, Cerrone committed the critical mistake of ceding space, granting Pettis the freedom to kick without fear of being forced onto the backfoot. 'Showtime' made good on his foe's ill-advised generosity by using his combination of speed and superior kicking technique to punish 'Cowboy'.

At the two-minute, 35-second mark, Pettis landed a thunderous left rear-kick to the body, digging his shin into Cerrone's liver to fold his foe for an impressive first-round TKO win.

#1. Brandon Moreno vs. Kai Kara-France, UFC 277

At UFC 277, Brandon Moreno met a foe he had faced years prior in a hotly contested bout. Kai Kara-France was on the hunt for a world championship to bring to City Kickboxing, eager to mark the bantamweight division as the third weight class that his gym had conquered.

Brandon Moreno, on the other hand, was intent on securing a fourth bout against the reigning flyweight champion, Deiveson Figueiredo.

Both men crossed paths in a matchup contested for the interim flyweight championship. The fight was an action-packed affair.

In the third round, just as it seemed like Kara-France was running away with the bout, Moreno chased him across the octagon and caught him at the end of a stinging left-round kick to the body, digging his toes into his foe's liver.

The pain proved too much for Kara-France to bear and the New Zealander collapsed to award Moreno the win.
