Along with being in a race for the next welterweight title shot, Morales (19-0) and Garry (17-1) have serious beef between them,. Morales recently admitted that he hates Garry, and that the Irishman doesn’t give him good vibes. Morales believes a potential bout against Garry would be very intense. While Morales won’t underestimate Garry, the undefeated Ecuadorian claims he would be extremely aggressive for the first time in his career.
Bad Blood
“I do hate him,” Morales told Alvaro Colemenoro. “We don’t have a very good vibe. But at the end of the day, he’s still a fighter. I’m not gonna get overconfident if I had to prepare myself to fight him… That fight is gonna be intense if it happens… I think that if I were to fight him, it would be the first time that I would fight in a very aggressive way.”
Morales’ beef with Garry stems from an alleged incident at the UFC Performance Institute. Morales claims that Garry had an altercation with one of his teammates, but had already left the PI when he went to confront “The Future.” Morales cemented his position as a contender by knocking out Sean Brady in the first round at UFC 322 this past November. Meanwhile, Garry made a legitimate claim for the next title shot by defeating former champion Belal Muhammad a week later at UFC Qatar. Both Morales and Garry are jostling hard for the next gold bid against Islam Makhachev.
