00:08this is pretty special what you're doing.

00:09I mean, not easy to win as many fights in a row as he has in a fashion that

00:13he's done it as well.

00:15And I like his patience as well, right?

00:17About people trying to, Hey, well, you know, do you want a title sheet?

00:19He said, it'll happen when it happens.

00:22I'm just going to keep on doing my thing.

00:24What's your take on Morales?

00:25Yeah, he's intriguing 19 and Oh coming out of Ecuador.

00:28And he looks to be like a division and a half taller or stronger than

00:32everybody else.

00:33He towered over number two ranks, Sean Brady known more for his wrestling in

00:37this fight.

00:37And Brady didn't even get out of the first round because Morales, his punches

00:40were powerful.

00:43Oh, Brady is as tough as nails as it gets.

00:46Look, Morales is interesting.

00:48He's sellable.

01:00You know, certain elements of the game that'll have to come out.

01:02He's been blowing away guys so early.

01:04I think if they wanted to go in that direction, the UFC and match him with

01:07Islam, it's marketable because of what we don't know about Morales.

01:11He is definitely a future star to watch because I think he's learning the game

01:15fight by fight.

01:16At this point, he's got the size and power.

01:18Now he's got to just round it all out.

01:19He's got to go.

01:22He's got to do it.

01:25He's got to do it.

01:27He's got to do it.
