Michael Morales continues to grow his stock, and he’s looking towards the future following UFC Vegas 106. Morales shared the Octagon with Gilbert Burns inside the UFC Apex this past Saturday. It was one-way traffic in favor of Morales, who timed the one-time title challenger on the feet. Burns took his opponent to the mat, but he failed to maintain control and he was ultimately stopped via TKO.

Chris Taylor - May 17, 2025

The Octagon returned to Nevada for tonight’s UFC Vegas 106 event, and four fighters wound up taking home performance bonuses. Tonight’s fight card was headlined by a highly anticipated welterweight contest featuring Gilbert Burns taking on Michael Moralez. The bout proved to be a coming out party for the now ‘and still undefeated’ Michael Morales. The Ecuadorian powerhouse was able to get the better of Gilbert Burns in the striking right from the opening horn, landing some powerful shots that ultimately forced ‘Durinho’ to dive in for a takedown. While Burns was successful in that attempt, it took just mere seconds for Morales to get back to his feet where he proceeded to smash the former title challenger with a plethora of heavy shots. After a pair of knockdowns, referee Herb Dean had seen enough and stepped in to call a stop to the contest.
