UFC Vegas 106 Features Burns vs Morales Welterweight Showdown

The UFC Vegas 106 event, scheduled for May 17 at UFC Apex in Las Vegas, will be headlined by a welterweight bout between former title challenger Gilbert Burns and undefeated rising star Michael Morales. Burns, ranked No. 8 in the welterweight division, is seeking to end a three-fight losing streak against top opponents, aiming to reaffirm his elite status in the division. Morales, undefeated at 17-0 and recently awarded a Performance of the Night bonus for a first-round knockout of Neil Magny, looks to continue his ascent into the welterweight top 10. The co-main event features Paul Craig returning to light heavyweight to face Rodolfo Bellato, with Craig also hoping to halt a three-fight skid. The event will showcase a range of bouts including notable fighters like Sodiq Yusuff, Julian Erosa, and Nursulton Ruziboev, making it a compelling card despite a lack of major stars.
