As part of one of the events of the UFC 270 tournament, Michael Morales and Trevin Giles will come face to face. In a face-to-face meeting, the rivals will play for the championship belt. Our sports portal gives a forecast for this battle.
Michael Morales (Ecuador)
The 22-year-old Ecuadorian started his professional career in 2017. Morales spent almost all his performances in Latin American promotions, where he scored a record – 10 in a mediocre position:0. In September 2021, Michael took part in the Dana White show, where he defeated Mikhail Veretennikov by unanimous decision and received a contract with the UFC. This was Morales' last performance. It is worth noting that Michael is good at Muay Thai and wrestling. He is good in the clinch and stalls, inserts dangerous elbows and knees. This guy is an American to be wary of.
Trevin Giles (USA)
Trevin, 29, started his professional career in 2014. Before joining the UFC, Giles mainly performed in the Fury and LFA promotions. Giles' debut in the strongest league in the world took place in July 2017, in a meeting with Bochovich, who was defeated by a technical knockout in the 2nd round. In December of the same year, Trevin knocked out Braga in the 3rd 5-minute. After a good start in the UFC, Giles lost 2 times in a row. In May 2019, he lost to Cummins, and in August to Gerald Mearshert.
Forecast
It seems to us that Morales is in good shape. He is able to defeat his opponent at a distance and will control an exhausted opponent in the stalls. Our bet will be in favor of Michael.
