Idiris vs. Morales Pick, Prediction
The first bout on Saturday's card is the Ultimate Fighter 33 Flyweight tournament title bout between Kazakhstani Alibi Idiris and California native Joseph Morales, who had a prior three-fight run (1-2, including a loss to Deiveison Figueiredo) in the UFC from 2017 to 2018.
The fighters are similar in both measures and age; Idiris accumulated an unbeaten record on Naiza Fighting Championships – a Kazak regional promotion, while Morales has spent time in Cage Warriors since his first UFC stint.
As of Friday morning, no prop lines — or even a total — are as of yet available for this fight. We'll revisit this matchup on fight day, and I will update this section if necessary, if I find anything actionable.
