The full card for UFC Vegas 106 has been revealed with welterweights Gilbert Burns and Michael Morales headlining the event taking place at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas on May 17.
Originally scheduled for UFC 315 one week earlier, Burns and Morales shifted gears to become the main event at the UFC Fight Night card instead with the two fighters trending in opposite directions based on recent results.
A stalwart in the rankings at 170 pounds in recent years, Burns has struggled lately with three straight losses, although the one-time title challenger has only been facing the top fighters in the division. His three losses came against current champion Belal Muhammad, No. 1 contender Jack Della Maddalena and the UFC's No. 1 ranked welterweight Sean Brady.
To get back on track, Burns has to find a way to hand Morales his first loss as the undefeated prospect looks to build on his perfect 17-0 record including five straight wins in the UFC.
Most recently, Morales dispatched veteran welterweight Neil Magny with a first-round knockout that earned him a Performance of the Night award this past August.
The co-featured bout on the card moves to the light heavyweight division where Paul Craig makes his return to action against Rodolfo Bellato.
Following a brief stop at middleweight, Craig returns to 205 pounds where he's spent the majority of his career, which includes a win over current champion Magomed Ankalaev.
As for Bellato, he looks to build on his unbelievable finishing rate where he's earned 11 stoppages in 12 career victories including a victory over Ihor Potieria in his octagon debut before going to a draw with Jimmy Crute in his next appearance.
