In his fifth UFC fight, undefeated prospect Michael Morales will get his chance to become a ranked contender against divisional gatekeeper Neil Magny at UFC Vegas 96.
Magny (29-11, 22-10 in UFC) has alternated wins and losses in his last seven fights that includes all four of his wins in that time against unranked opponents. Magny pulled off arguably the most impressive win of his career in his last time out at UFC 297 with a comeback TKO win over Mike Malott in the final 15 seconds of the fight.
Morales (16-0, 4-0 in UFC) will have a chance to become the youngest member of the UFC welterweight rankings at UFC Vegas 96 at 25 years old.
