Michael Morales didn’t take bait for pre-fight trash talk vs. Max Griffin: ‘I train to fight, not to talk’

LAS VEGAS – Michael Morales is not in the business of trash talking.

The Ecuadorian prospect made it clear he’s only interested in what’s done in the cage, not outside of it, in his fight against Max Griffin at Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 47.

Morales (15-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) defeated Griffin (19-10 MMA, 7-8 UFC) with a unanimous decision and after speaking to the media, he explained why he didn’t engage his opponent in trash talk despite getting thrown some shots his way at Wednesday’s media day.
