LAS VEGAS – Jake Matthews wants to get a crack at the top 15 of the UFC’s welterweight division, and he believes a win in his next bout will get him just that. Matthews returns to the octagon this weekend in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 232 . Matthews (19-6 MMA, 12-6 UFC) takes on unbeaten prospect Michael Morales. It’s a big welterweight bout given Matthews’ tenure and Morales’ (15-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) rise in the division.
