The UFC Vegas 106 is scheduled to take place at UFC Apex in Las Vegas, USA, on May 17. The event is set to be headlined by Gilbert Burns and Michael Morales, who clash in a welterweight bout. The main card features other exciting bouts as well, including fighters like Paul Craig, Sodiq Yussuf, and Mairon Santos.
The Brazilian star would be hoping to get back in the win column, after suffering three back-to-back defeats at the hands of Belal Muhammad, Jack Della Maddalena, and Sean Brady.
On the other hand, Morales comes into this fight with an undefeated professional MMA record of 17-0. He secured a first-round stoppage victory in his previous outing against Neil Magny and will be hoping to climb the welterweight rankings by defeating No.8 ranked Burns.
The co-main event features fan-favorite Paul Craig, who takes on Rodolfo Bellato. Similar to 'Durinho', Craig will also be hoping to turn his fortune around, after suffering from a three-fight skid. On the flipside, his opponent, Bellato, is coming off a majority decision draw against Jimmy Crute last February.
