Michael Morales is the new kid on the UFC title-contention block.
The undefeated rising contender impressed the MMA world and established himself as a title threat with his most recent win in the octagon. This past Saturday, Morales (18-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) quickly dispatched long-time contender and former title challenger Gilbert Burns (22-9 MMA, 15-9 UFC) in the main event of UFC Fight Night 256 in Las Vegas. Burns, who has fought the who's who at 170 pounds, has never been finished that dominantly.
With an exciting title contender on the rise, MMA Junkie caught up with the man behind the man, Entram Gym head-coach Raul Arvizu – who's been alongside Morales this entire UFC journey.
