Morales Accepts Garry's Fight Offer: UFC Approval Pending

Michael Morales has verbally accepted a fight offer from fellow welterweight Ian Machado Garry, leaving the decision of whether the bout will materialize in the hands of the UFC. The two fighters have been engaged in a public back-and-forth for months. Recently, Morales shared text message exchanges where Garry proposed a fight by the end of the year, specifically suggesting November 28th in Saudi Arabia.

Morales responded affirmatively to Garry's proposal, indicating his willingness to fight provided a contract is secured. This development raises several questions, including the UFC's willingness to sanction the fight given Garry's management situation and Morales' current standing as a potential backup for a title shot. The proposed date of November 28th has not yet been officially confirmed by the UFC, but the detailed nature of Garry's suggestion implies potential planning.
