Michael Morales undoubtedly has everyone’s attention now.

The undefeated Entram Gym star aced his most significant test to date in the Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight division, as he buried Gilbert Burns with punches in the first round of their UFC Fight Night 256 headliner on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Morales (18-0, 6-0 UFC) closed the show and took a figurative bow 3:39 into Round 1.

Burns (22-9, 15-9 UFC) had no answers for the Ecuadorian brute. Morales sent the Kill Cliff Fight Club mainstay into a backpedal with a sweeping right hook and had him ducking for cover along the fence. Burns retreated to the canvas while being swarmed but found no refuge there and instead returned to his feet. Morales was waiting. He unleashed his hands again, drove Burns to the mat and prompted the stoppage.

Sherdog's live UFC Vegas 106 coverage will begin Saturday at 4 p.m. ET. The event is also known as UFC Fight Night 256. BETTING PREVIEW | SCOUTING REPORT | ODDS: Pennington (-455), Pinheiro (+350)Round 1 After posting up in a few arenas around North America, it was time for the UFC to hibernate back in the Apex for a card that will likely see pink slips fly in preparation for the upcoming season of Dana White’s Contender Series. Nine athletes across this 12-fight lineup hold UFC records of .500 or lower—although a couple are due to UFC debutants—with just four fighters ranked by the promotion on the billing. Interestingly enough, those with numbers next to their name come in the main event and this curtain jerker. Two ladies in the top 15 of the strawweight division kick things off today, as Pennington (14-7, 10-7 UFC) looks to put a win streak together for the first time in years at the expense of skidding Brazilian Pinheiro (11-4, 3-3 UFC). Referee Chris Tognoni will draw…

Jared Gordon took the judges out of the equation.

The 36-year-old Kill Cliff Fight Club veteran rebounded from a contentious June 22 decision defeat to Nasrat Haqparast and righted himself in the Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight division, as he dispatched Thiago Moises with punches in the first round of their featured UFC Fight Night 256 prelim on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Gordon (21-7, 9-6 UFC) drew the curtain 3:37 into Round 1.

Moises (19-9, 8-7 UFC) never established a stable foothold. Gordon caught the American Top Team mainstay off-guard with takedown inside the first 20 seconds, ate some elbows from the bottom and made the Brazilian work to get back to his feet. Once there, the two men separated and reset. Gordon decked the onetime Resurrection Fighting Alliance champion with a counter right hook, chased him to the canvas and closed it out with unanswered punches.

Meanwhile, Gabriel Green returned from a two-year abs…

Denise Gomes is quickly climbing the leaderboard when it comes to knockout victories in the strawweight division.

The hard-hitting Brazilian received a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus for her latest effort — a second-round stoppage of Elise Reed in a preliminary contest at UFC Vegas 106 on Saturday night. Gomes rattled Reed with heavy punches early in the second stanza, putting her overwhelmed adversary away 30 seconds into the period. Gomes is now tied for the second-most KO/TKO victories in UFC strawweight history with three.

Meanwhile, Michael Morales captured the evening’s other $50,000 performance bonus with a first-round finish of Gilbert Burns in the evening’s main event. The Ecuadorian talent put his hands to work early and often, and after he thwarted Burns’ attempt to bring the fight to the mat, Morales dropped his foe for a second time to force the stoppage 3:39 into Round 1.

Finally, Melquizael Costa and Julian Erosa earned “Fight of t…
