A former UFC BMF kingpin wants Michael Morales to get the next shot at the welterweight champion. Morales most recently secured a round one knockout victory at UFC 322 against Sean Brady, after which he climbed up to the No. 3 spot on the 170-pound list.
The 26-year-old holds an impressive record of 19-0 and boasts wins over Gilbert Burns, Neil Magny, and the aforementioned Brady, among others. So far in his MMA career, Morales has secured 15 finishes.
Post-UFC 322, Morales called out newly minted welterweight champion Islam Makhachev, and the Russian also praised the Ecuadorian’s performance against Brady.
