LAS VEGAS – Michael Morales has his sight set on UFC 299.
The UFC welterweight prospect already has a date in mind for his return to the octagon following his unanimous decision win over veteran Jake Matthews in the co-main event of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 232.
Morales (16-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) wants to compete at UFC 299 in March because Marlon Vera, a fellow countryman from Ecuador, challenges UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley in the main event of the card.
