Garry and Morales clash in Saudi Arabia in an explosive title eliminator bout

An explosive showdown in Saudi Arabia could redefine the UFC welterweight title race.

To remember:

  • Surprise agreement between Ian Garry and Michael Morales for a fight on November 28 in Saudi Arabia.
  • Morales, undefeated in welterweight (14-0), accepts the challenge despite Garry’s initial doubts.
  • This bout could be a decisive eliminator for the title against Islam Makhachev.
  • A clash of explosive styles between a redemption-seeking Garry and a determined Morales.
  • Bookmakers already rank this match among the most anticipated of the year’s end.

Unbelievable! After months of speculation and fiery social media exchanges, Ian Garry and Michael Morales have finally sealed the deal for a historic fight in Saudi Arabia on November 28. This duel, once unthinkable, could completely reshuffle the deck in the race for the UFC welterweight title.


Garry, seeking redemption after his loss to Islam Makhachev at UFC 330, has found a worthy opponent in Morales. The latter, undefeated in welterweight with an impressive record of 14 consecutive wins, swept aside avoidance accusations by declaring: *« I accept the fight, but only pending an official contract. »* A direct response that caught more than one observer off guard.


A Title Eliminator Bout with Massive Stakes

This match could emerge as a decisive eliminator for the belt, as Carlos Prates is tipped to face Makhachev. With an aggressive style and unwavering determination, Morales embodies the perfect threat to Garry. The two men, with radically different approaches, promise an explosive showdown.


The bookmakers aren’t fooled: this fight is already among the most anticipated of the year’s end. Between Garry’s quest for legitimacy and Morales’ ambition, this duel could well be the turning point for the welterweight division.

Between redemption, ambition, and explosive style, Garry vs Morales is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling fights of the year. A date not to be missed for UFC fans!

Editor's Opinion
By Nakmen
Oh shit, this fight is shaping up to be a real Jurassic Park MMA edition: two predators, an unstable ecosystem, and an audience that’s going to be shaking in their seats. Garry in “Mission: Impossible” mode after Makhachev, versus Morales, the undefeated little genius who looks like he’s playing chess with the welterweights the way OSS 117 plays chess with Soviet spies. The problem? Morales seems to want an official contract, as if he’s being offered a Disney star deal and not a fight in the Saudi desert. But hey, if it goes as planned, we’re in for a 100% fight: one wants redemption, the other wants to prove he’s the new king. The bookmakers are right—this is huge. As long as the two don’t start squabbling like a couple of Batman heroes in a Gotham bar. Fingers crossed!
