Belal Muhammad (24-3, 1 NC) will defend the UFC welterweight belt in the main event of UFC 315 in Montreal, where he will face Jack Maddalena (17-2).
Michael Morales (17-0) has been training alongside the champion, and he spoke to DAZN News about Muhammad's chance.
Morales sees the Palestinian fighter retaining his belt.
"Maybe Belal. I think Belal can win this fight," Morales said. "I’ve trained with him, we’ve done camps together, so I think he has all the tools to win his fight."
Still unbeaten, the Ecuadorian fighter sees himself winning the belt one day.
"Yeah, I think if it doesn’t happen this year, it’ll be next year," he said. "I’ve only got three more fights left, or two more fights, and I could already be fighting for the title."
At 25, Morales (ranked 12th UFC's welterweight division) will face Gilbert Burns (8th) on May 17 in the main event of UFC Fight Night. He sees that fight as another step towarrds a title.
"There are still a lot of things I need to experience that the champions already have, but I think that if I get the chance to fight for the title, I’m going to take it without thinking twice and I’ll take advantage of any moment they give me," he said.
