Moisés Beat Ogden Before Leaving the UFC

Thiago Moisés defeated Trey Ogden by unanimous decision at UFC Vegas 101 in Las Vegas on January 11, 2025. All three judges scored the lightweight contest 29–28 for the Brazilian. MMA Fighting’s event results record the win.

The Ogden result in context

The bout formed part of the preliminary card at the UFC Apex. A 29–28 score over three rounds meant each judge favored Moisés two rounds to one. The unanimous verdict established agreement on the winner, while the score reflected a contest decided by one round on each card.

The result was one chapter in a longer UFC career that began after a first-round knockout on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2018. Moisés also recorded submission victories over King Green, Christos Giagos and Melquizael Costa during his time with the promotion.

A later roster change in 2026

In June 2026, MMA Fighting reported that Moisés had been removed from the UFC roster. The report followed an April split-decision loss to Gauge Young in Winnipeg and placed his UFC record at eight wins and eight losses across sixteen appearances.

The former RFA lightweight champion had an overall professional record of 19–10 at that point. Those dated totals describe his position when the June report appeared, keeping the later roster news separate from the January 2025 win. The original video above remains alongside the career chronology.
