In 2016, he won the RFA Lightweight Championship against David Castillo via second-round armbar at RFA 35, defending it twice with a TKO over Jamall Emmers and a unanimous decision over Zach Freeman. After RFA merged with Legacy Fighting Championship to form Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA), Moisés lost the inaugural LFA Lightweight title to Robert Watley in 2017 but secured a guillotine choke win over Jeff Peterson in 2018.

His knockout victory over Gleidson Moraes at Dana White’s Contender Series Brazil 3 in August 2018 earned him a UFC contract.

Moisés debuted in the UFC on November 10, 2018, at UFC Fight Night 139, losing a unanimous decision to Beneil Dariush. He notched his first UFC win against Kurt Holobaugh via unanimous decision at UFC 237 in May 2019, followed by a loss to Damir Ismagulov in August 2019.

Moisés showcased his submission skills with a second-round Achilles lock against Michael Johnson at UFC Fight Night: Smith vs. Teixeira in May 2020, followed by unanimous decision wins over Bobby Green in October 2020 and Alexander Hernandez in February 2021. However, he faced setbacks with a fourth-round submission loss to Islam Makhachev in July 2021 and a first-round TKO loss to Joel Álvarez in November 2021, the latter at a catchweight due to Álvarez missing weight.

Moisés rebounded with a first-round rear-naked choke submission over Christos Giagos at UFC on ESPN 38 in June 2022, earning his first Performance of the Night award. He submitted Melquizael Costa in January 2023 at UFC 283, but suffered a second-round TKO loss to Benoît Saint-Denis at UFC Fight Night 226 in September 2023, earning a Fight of the Night award.

Moisés won via third-round TKO against Mitch Ramirez at UFC Fight Night 239 in March 2024 but lost a unanimous decision to Ľudovít Klein in June 2024. His most recent fight, a unanimous decision victory over Trey Ogden on January 11, 2025, at UFC Fight Night 249, improved his UFC record to 7-6.

Ranked #31 in the Lightweight division, Moisés trains at American Top Team and continues to refine his striking to complement his elite grappling, aiming for a top-15 ranking.
