Get the live updates for the main event at UFC Fight Night: Las Vegas, featuring a welterweight clash between Gilbert Burns and Michael Morales.
Gilbert Burns, a veteran with over a decade in the UFC, is currently in a challenging position, facing the first three-fight losing streak of his career. While these defeats were against top-ranked welterweights, “Durinho” hasn`t secured a win since his decision victory over Jorge Masvidal in 2023. A crucial win is essential for Burns to potentially re-enter the title picture.
At just 25 years old, Michael Morales stands out as a promising welterweight contender. Holding an undefeated 17-0 professional record, the Ecuadorian fighter joined the UFC via Contender Series in 2022 and has since compiled a 5-0 record within the promotion. His recent performance includes a stoppage win over Neil Magny last August. Morales aims to solidify his position as a serious force in the 170-pound division.
