Michael Morales is set as the backup fighter for the UFC 330 welterweight title fight between Islam Makhachev and Ian Machado Garry. The assignment gives UFC 330 another undefeated welterweight within reach of the main event. That does not change Makhachev vs. Garry as the scheduled title fight, but it does put Morales in the title-fight orbit while the division waits for the November card. The news lands in a division that has been moving quickly around UFC 330. If Makhachev and Garry both make it to fight night, Morales still leaves the week attached to a championship event.
