Bobby Moffett needed a win as he suffered his first loss four fights in his last outing against Bryce Mitchell in March earlier this year.This featherweight encounter between Barzola and Moffett was a close one to judge. The first round certainly went to Moffett as the Illinois-native outworked Barzola from a stand-up aspect.Barzola woke up in the second round and began putting in the work. Barzola got his range going with 1-2 and 2-3 combinations to the body and head. He even tried for takedowns on multiple occasions in the round and was even pushed back to the cage at one point. However, he managed to win the round with the better strikes landed and octagon control.Both men had their moments in the final round. It was an evenly contested round with Barzola eating shots but also giving it back in equal effect. Barzola landed a takedown in the dying stages of the fight before it all came to a close.Result: Enrique Barzola def. Bobby Moffett via split decision (28-29, 30-27, 29-28)Unbelievable pace in round 2! #UFCUruguay pic.twitter.com/LIAa0lpgvm— UFC Aus/New Zealand (@UFC_AUSNZ) August 11, 2019What a pace in round 2!! #UFCUruguay pic.twitter.com/KqXDrATpc1— UFC Canada (@UFC_CA) August 11, 2019El Fuerte on point! 🇵🇪@ElFuerteBarzola #UFCUruguay pic.twitter.com/6oKBSrmjGK— UFC Europe (@UFCEurope) August 11, 2019De forma dividida es para @ElFuerteBarzola #UFCUruguay pic.twitter.com/5AXYkdNq02— UFC Español (@UFCEspanol) August 11, 2019
