Michael Morales secured the most significant victory of his career by defeating former title challenger Gilbert Burns in the main event of UFC Vegas 106 at the UFC APEX. While many view Morales as a potential future champion, the UFC`s 170-pound division is currently packed with skilled contenders.
Following this impressive performance, where does Morales fit within this competitive landscape?
On a recent installment of the podcast “On To the Next One,” host Mike Heck delves into potential next steps for Morales, who now holds an impressive 18-0 record. The discussion also includes prospective matchups for other notable winners from the event, such as Mairon Santos (following his victory over Sodiq Yusuff), Nursulton Ruziboev (after his hard-fought win against Dustin Stoltzfus), and Melquizael Costa (who won `Fight of the Night` against Julian Erosa).
