Michael Morales continues to make a significant impact inside the UFC Octagon. The rapidly rising fighter recently achieved a notable milestone by earning his second consecutive Performance of the Night bonus. This latest bonus was awarded following his impressive first-round victory at a recent UFC Vegas event held on Saturday night.
This performance further solidifies Morales`s undefeated professional record, now standing at 18-0, and extends his winning streak within the UFC to six straight fights.
Morales`s previous bonus-winning performance came in August at UFC Vegas 96, where he secured a knockout victory over veteran fighter Neil Magny.
Beyond Morales`s achievement, the event also recognized other standout performances. Denise Gomes was another recipient of a Performance of the Night bonus for her dominant second-round knockout win against Elise Reed.
The Fight of the Night honors went to the exciting clash between Melquizael Costa and Julian Erosa. After a hard-fought battle, Costa was ultimately declared the winner by unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring the contest 29-28 in his favor.
