UFC Vegas 106 marks the return of the Ultimate Fighting Championship to Las Vegas, featuring a main event between Gilbert Burns and Michael Morales. Both fighters made weight, with Burns at 170 pounds and Morales slightly heavier at 170.5 pounds. This fight is crucial for Burns, who is seeking to end a three-fight losing streak against top-level competitors, while Morales, undefeated at 17-0, is aiming to take a significant leap in his career. The event will be broadcast on ESPN+ with prelims starting earlier in the day.
The fight is a must-win for Burns (22-8) if he hopes to stay a relevant figure in the division. 'Durinho' has stacked up three straight losses, albeit to the best of the best in Belal Muhammad, Jack Della Maddalena and Sean Brady.
This marks the first UFC main event for Morales. Undefeated as a pro, the 17-0 fighter is coming off impressive wins over Neil Magny, Jake Matthews and Max Griffin.
