UFC Vegas 106 - Gilbert Burns vs. Michael Morales: Fight card, date, start time, streaming, how to watch, venue, and more

The UFC returns to the Apex in Nevada for UFC Vegas 106: Gilbert Burns vs. Michael Morales on May 17. The 12-fight fight card will be headlined by former UFC welterweight title challenger Gilbert Burns and No.12-ranked undeafeated star Michael Morales.

Morales is coming off a TKO win over Neil Magny in August last year, topping a five-fight winning streak in the promotion. As for Burns, 'Durinho' will look to turn his career around as he's on a three-fight skid, capped by a unanimous decision loss to Sean Brady last September.

The co-main event will feature Scottish light-heavyweight fan-favorite Paul Craig as he - like Burns - tries to break a three-fight losing streak. Across the octagon from him will be Rodolfo Bellato, who is coming off a majority decision draw against Jimmy Crute last February.
