Overview
- The matchup is the welterweight swing fight on the UFC 322 main card at Madison Square Garden.
- Morales arrives unbeaten at 18-0 (6-0 UFC) as a long, finishing striker after first‑round TKO wins over Neil Magny and Gilbert Burns.
- Brady is 18-1, ranked No. 2, a grappler who submitted former champion Leon Edwards in March to strengthen his case for a title shot.
- The bout has been characterized as high risk with limited upside for Brady relative to rankings, a framing he dismisses as he focuses on winning.
- The result feeds into the title queue on a card topped by Jack Della Maddalena vs. Islam Makhachev, with next week’s Ian Machado Garry–Belal Muhammad fight likely to influence the order.
