Joseph Morales, a TUF 33 finalist, aims to rekindle his UFC career after an earlier stint with mixed results. With a record of 1-2 in the UFC during the late 2010s, Morales took a hiatus and rebounded with three consecutive wins on the regional circuit before reappearing on TUF. Facing Alibi Idiris in the flyweight final at UFC 319, he reflects on his previous experience and emphasizes a newfound enjoyment of the process, media duties, and being himself. Morales acknowledges the competitive landscape but appears confident in his approach.
I feel like I never left. Everybody's been saying I'm making my debut, but I don't know. Can you have two debuts? How does that work?
It feels like a continuation from the first run, but it also feels like a new path of it. I get to prove myself in a different way this time.
I feel like it's a bigger deal, and it's just more important. The little things are more important this time.
If people like you they like you, if not, f*ck 'em.
