Michael Morales is on fire in the UFC Octagon.
The rising UFC star has now won six straight fights – and two Performance of the Night bonuses – after he flattened Gilbert Burns in the first round of UFC Vegas 106 on Saturday night.
Morales (18-0) earned his other bonus when he knocked out Neil Magny at UFC Vegas 96 this past August.
Denise Gomes also picked up a Performance of the Night bonus for her impressive win against Elise Reed when she recorded a second-round knockout.
Melquizael Costa and Julian Erosa earned Fight of the Night honors. Costa won the fight via unanimous decision (29-28 x3).
