News Michael Morales no longer undefeated. Fight record updated

[CroCopsLHK]

Undefeated UFC title contender's first loss to 1-5 journeyman uncovered as defeat added to record

One of the UFC's biggest stars just had a loss added to his record - almost a decade late

bloodyelbow.com

Cliffs: Morales lost his second fight on a reality show via triangle at 17 before his fights started recording. Tapology uncovered the two fights and deemed they were professional lol

Edit: Tapology amends record back to 17-0!

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

Cut him immediately

[Ares Black]

Fraud checked. Should probably be cut TBH.

I thought the "loss" was going to be related to him dancing around in a dress looking like a french maid from a Nyquil nightmare.

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

They are exhibition fights from a reality show... but we ( Tapology ) don't consider them to be , like TUF... even though no other site is changing his official record...

Sounds like some bush league stuff to me.

If Morales wins the UFC WW belt, let's unretire Ricardo Centenu and have a rematch.

 

[Neck&Neck]

No more TS for him

i really wish they would let morales, shavkat, garry, or prates send usman into retirement.

Like, in a gang assault? Or have him fight all 4 guys back to back to back despite the outcomes?

 

[CC27]

werent they two round reality show exhibition matches? Seems dumb to do that but they can do what they want with their site. Dont think UFC or anyone else is gonna recognize it as a loss.

I remember when Sherdog was on a roll calling out all the frauds, showing all the info and the fighters trying to hide their losses, but it always comes up.

Back to Shark Fights for 'Ol Mike.

 

[TheCryingElite]

At least they gave him the extra win. This won’t mean much as far as the UFC is concerned but it certainly gave his detractors ammo against him lol

 

[prime_lobov]

He should get another L on his record for every time he posts a video of himself dancing in women’s clothes

Masvidal could sucker punch Usman outside a restaurant and the other guys could jump in.

LOL @ Tapology adding those two exhibition fights as pro fights. They don't even accept Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA as pro fights, instead they list them as exhibitions, while all other fight databases count them as pro fights. Makes no sense.

What are your thoughts @Valhoven , @JayPettryMMA?

Here's a thread I made in 2022 comparing Sherdog and Tapology databases: https://forums.sherdog.com/threads/...e-correct-fighter-database-to-follow.4262817/

 

[Hellowhosthat]

I would be interested as to why that classes as a pro fight but fights on TUF don't (personally I'd also count fights on TUF).

 

[The_Renaissance]

This winds me up a bit, why did he think that wouldn't come out at some point - I'd feel like a fraud walking around claiming to be unbeaten if I knew I wasn't. And that goes for TUF, too - if I'd lost a fight on TUF I wouldn't be calling myself undefeated.
