Omar Morales (10-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC)

Featherweight (145lbs): 0-0 (UFC)

Lightweight (155lbs):  2-0 (UFC)

Omar Morales is an undefeated 34-year-old, DWCS 2019 product that has looked impressive in his fights, all of which have taken place in the lightweight division thus far in his career. Morales has a longer frame at 5’11” with a 74″ reach but has made the decision to move down in weight to the featherweight weight class. Morales will be a fighter to watch on the scale as he looks to make 145lbs ahead of his bout against Giga Chikadze at UFC Fight Island 5 and keep his undefeated record intact.
