Michael Morales didn't take too kindly to Ian Machado Garry's suggestion.
Machado Garry (17-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC), who challenges Islam Makhachev (28-1 MMA, 17-1 UFC) for the welterweight championship in the UFC 330 headliner Aug. 15 at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, beat Morales and Carlos Prates in the ******* le race.
Instead, Machado Garry claimed Morales (19-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) should move up a division.
"If I was Michael Morales, you know what my advice would be to him? Go up to 185," Machado Garry said on "The Ariel Helwani Show." "Because you're young, you're big, you're somewhat talented. There is a lack of stars up there in the sport, and I think he could do very well there. But if he wants to stay at 170, I'll punch a hole in his head at some point."
Morales remained unbeaten when he finished top contender Sean Brady by first-round TKO at UFC 322 this past November. He fired back at Machado Garry's suggestion.
