Ahead of returning to action, he said: “I’ve been on the sidelines for too long due to injuries, I’m ready to come back and make a statement.”
Kevin Wirth will take Morales on, and comes to Cage Warriors with an 8-2 record, and revealed that he is “pumped to take on somebody that made it to the UFC.”
