A chance to break into the Top 10 awaits Michael Morales.
The Entram Gym welterweight—one of 26 undefeated competitors on the Ultimate Fighting Championship roster with at least one victory inside the promotion—will put his skills to the test when he takes on Gilbert Burns in the UFC Fight Night 256 headliner on May 16 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Morales, 25, boasts a perfect 17-0 record with 13 finishes, 12 of them by knockout or technical knockout. The Ecuador native last saw action at UFC on ESPN 62, where he put away “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 16 semifinalist Neil Magny with punches in the first round of their Aug. 24 pairing.
