His UFC debut is scheduled in the main event of UFC 270 in a three-round welterweight matchup against Trevin Giles.
Michael Morales (12-0 MMA) is living a dream in Anaheim. The first battle at the UFC 270 event was won on Friday by making weight. This Saturday he has to show that he is made for big things and that the election of Dana White (president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship) was not a coincidence last September in the Contender Series. The 22-year-old from Ourense will become this Saturday night the third Ecuadorian to climb into the cage of the most important mixed martial arts (MMA) company on the planet.
“Batteries, stay tuned,” Morales said Thursday before the press conference began at the Anaheim Convention Center with the presence of the protagonists of the main and co-main fights.
The one from Pasaje was sitting next to his corner and was interrupted by EL UNIVERSO asking about his feelings. It was one of the few opportunities to hear from him.
“To win, to win…”, declared the tricolor.
His UFC debut is scheduled in the main event of UFC 270 in a three-round 170-pound division matchup against American Trevin Giles (14-3-0 MMA, 5-3 UFC).
According to the program, the main card starts at 7:00 p.m. local (10:00 p.m., Ecuadorian time). (D)
