Spirits (17-0) signed up with the UFC in 2021 when he won an agreement through a choice success on a Dana White’s Competitor Series battle card. Ever since, Morales has actually gone 5-0 with the UFC with 3 knockouts and 2 choices.
The 25-year-old Morales burglarized the main UFC welterweight rankings in August when he made a “Efficiency of the Night” reward for his first-round knockout win over veteran UFC rival Neil Magny.
The centerpiece of UFC Vegas 106 is an outstanding chance for the 38-year-old Burns to reveal that he stays an elite UFC welterweight. When it comes to Morales, Saturday’s UFC Battle Night is his possibility to reveal that he belongs amongst the leading 10 of the 170-pound department.
