Overview

  • The welterweight bout is booked for the UFC 322 pay-per-view main card in New York on Nov. 15.
  • Brady announced the fight on The BradyBagz Show after an initial report by MMA Latinoamérica, with further confirmations from MMA outlets and UFC executive Hunter Campbell.
  • The matchup is widely characterized as a potential title eliminator that could reorder the welterweight pecking order on a card topped by Jack Della Maddalena vs. Islam Makhachev and Valentina Shevchenko vs. Zhang Weili.
  • Brady enters at 18-1 (8-1 UFC) following a March submission of former champion Leon Edwards, while the unbeaten Morales is 18-0 (6-0 UFC) after a first-round TKO of Gilbert Burns in May.
  • Analysts frame the pairing as grappler vs. striker, pointing to Brady’s takedown pressure and Morales’ strong takedown defense, with Brady emphasizing he chose to fight now rather than wait.
