Closing in on title shot Morales defeated Sean Brady via TKO (punches) at 3:27 of Round 1 at UFC 322 on Saturday in New York City.
Impact This guy is a real problem at 170 pounds. Morales is just 6-foot, but possesses a ridiculous 79-inch reach. He used that length to remain to the outside and fire off a piston-like jab which picked Brady apart. He landed countless massive blows and had Sean in all sorts of trouble in multiple occasions before finally landing a knockout and the stoppage with about 90 seconds left in the opening frame. 14 of Morales' 18 career wins have come via knockout, but both of his parents are judo black belts and he also has a high-level wrestling background. He, along with Carlos Prates, who also won via knockout earlier in the evening, have real claims to be next in line for the winner of the upcoming Jack Della Maddalena and Islam Makhachev title fight which will close the show.

MAY 18 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM
Rise to top continues Morales defeated Gilbert Burns via TKO (punches) at 3:39 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
Impact In case there was any doubt, Morales is legit. A win over Burns means less at this time than at any point in the past decade-plus, but he was still by far the best opponent Morales had faced to date and he passed the test with flying colors. Entering as a -550 favor, Morales showed his trademark composure in overwhelming Burns on the feet. He did give up one takedown but immediately worked his way back to the feet and finished his opponent moments later. Now a perfect 6-0 in the UFC in addition to picking up a win on Dana White's Contender Series, the company is going to have a difficult time slow playing things with Morales. He's simply too talented.
