Joseph Morales won The Ultimate Fighter Season 33 by submitting Alibi Idiris, then validated the run with a first-round guillotine finish of Matt Schnell in his first fight back in the Octagon since a 2019 release. Nine of his 15 career wins have come by submission. He now gets the biggest opportunity of his career against a former two-time champion in Brandon Moreno.
