"I’m really looking forward to a fight against Islam. They’ve already come up with excuses not to make this fight. But I want to get it. I’m not taking anything away from what he’s accomplished at all: Islam is a legendary fighter. He did what he had to do and won two titles. But I’m coming in hungry too, to win the belt," Morales said in an interview with Alvaro Colmenero.

Morales last stepped into the Octagon in November of last year, when he knocked out Sean Brady.
