Michael Morales: Get in the hype train NOW

[Goat Poster]

Morales fights nº8 ranked Burns this saturday. Along with Buckley he seems to be the most physically gifted WW in the top 15 and is still only 25 and undefeated. Why is there no hype??

If he wins convincingly like he is expected to, he can't be ignored anymore. If any 25yo American got into the top 15 by k.oing a veteran like Magny the hype train would be full already. 29 yo No Bickal decisioned an unathletic Jiu Jitsu guy and had people talking about him every fucking day like he is the next big thing after sliced bread.


Who is getting in the train now before he possibly gets embarassed by Burns? Who is risking looking like a fool when he gets leg-locked on saturday?
I'm at the front of the train and will die on impact when it crashes. Who's with me?

I thought Burns was getting old but his last 2 losses was against Jack and Brady who did amazing performances after

So I don't know, good fight I expect.

I hope Burns wins, he really needs it.

Great fight

He’s pretty good, for a guy with only a few fights in the UFC he’s fought a lot of tough fighters. He ran through Magny easier than Garry did that’s for sure.

Burns is a good test but I personally think the physicality and being much younger and less shopworn will get morales a late finish. If Morales wins this I think a fight with Garry or the loser of Usman/Buckley makes a lot of sense.

no it’s ok I’m good

Why was this fight scrapped from 315?

Either way. Burns is a huge step up from mangey. Too much too soon imo. I think Durinho does him.

 

[Ares Black]

I've been on the hype train since he was on the Contender Series.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

I love the guy and support him for being a latinamerican brother.

He kind of makes me nervous fighting with his hands down sometimes.

no it’s ok I’m good

Gonna wait until the bandwagon rolls around? don't do it homie, get on the hype train! Morales is for real.

Burns probably retires if he loses yeah?

He is in a bad skid but he lost to the former champ, the actual champ and a guy who only loss to the former champ.


I think Burns could hang around a few more years beating up top 10-20 fighters.

That is true. But 38 going on 39 soon and this would be 4 losses in a row. It’s Tawf B

Yeah.. it looks bad.

I guess it depends on a few things.. one if he was smart with his money (he should have made a decent amount in the UFC) and other if he has something else to do in mind.
