Drops decision in Vegas
Morales lost to Jonathan Martinez via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Morales found himself in a tough spot going up against a legitimately talented opponent. He entered as the second-largest underdog on the card at +225 and predictably struggled. Morales picked up a handful of knockout victories on the regional circuit prior to his UFC arrival, but he's struggled to generate consistent offense since joining the company, and he was never going to outpoint Martinez over the course of 15 minutes. Morales landed just 33 percent of his significant strikes (51/153) and that obviously wasn't going to get the job done. Morales should be in decent shape moving forward considering he entered this bout on the strength of back-to-back victories, but the 31-year-old Idaho native would do well to get right back in the win column his next time out.
