Brady says he's fighting Morales at UFC 322
Welterweight contender Sean Brady is set to fight Michael Morales at UFC 322 on Nov. 15 at Madison Square Garden in New York, he announced Monday on "The BradyBagz Show."
Brady-Morales is the third marquee welterweight bout set for the card, in addition to the main event between champion Jack Della Maddalena and Islam Makhachev, as well as Leon Edwards versus Carlos Prates.
Brady, ranked No. 2 in the division, is coming off the biggest win of his career, a submission of Edwards at UFC London in March. The 32-year-old Philadelphia native is riding a three-fight winning streak and is 18-1 as a professional.
Morales, the No. 8-ranked welterweight, is one of the hottest up-and-comers in the division. Most recently, the 26-year-old Ecuadorian knocked out former title challenger Gilbert Burns in the first round of a UFC Fight Night main event in May. Morales holds a 6-0 record in the UFC and an 18-0 record as a pro.
UFC 322 will also feature a women's flyweight title bout between Valentina Shevchenko and former strawweight champion Zhang Weili, who's moving up to 125 pounds for the first time in the Octagon.
