Ecuadorian Powerhouse Morales Faces Welterweight Contender Brady in UFC 322 Showdown

In just a few hours, unbeaten Ecuadorian fighter Michael Morales will step into the Octagon for the biggest moment of his career so far. Morales (18-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) is set to face off against #2 welterweight contender Sean Brady (18-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) in the pay-per-view main card of UFC 322, taking place this Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Morales is coming off an impressive quick knockout win over former UFC title challenger Gilbert Burns back in May. Now, on relatively short notice, he has the chance to further cement his status as a rising welterweight star by taking down another high-level grappler in Brady. Morales' coach, Raul Arvizu, believes the game plan will be similar to the one they used against Burns, as Brady presents many of the same stylistic challenges.
