Vince Morales recaps third-straight win since UFC release at RIZIN 45

Interview with Vince Morales below

 

Vince Morales (14-7) recaps his unanimous decision win over Yuki Motoya (34-11) at RIZIN 45 on Dec. 31. Vince also spoke about how this opportunity with RIZIN came together, difficulties getting fights and how his three-fight win streak has got him on the radar of the UFC again.

“Prior to this one, right after I got my win in July, I was kind of on deck for short notice (for the UFC) and it just didn’t work out for whoever they chose. I’m hoping I’m still on that list. Right now, I’ve setup a pretty good springboard for wherever we want to go right now. I know RIZIN was expressing some interest in having me back already. Then rumor has it PFL is starting a bantamweight tournament this year and of course the UFC. As soon as I get all options on the table … we’ll figure out what’s best for us.”
