Tapology Reverses Course, Restores Michael Morales’ Undefeated Record

The database said applying newer exhibition criteria to a 2017 reality‑show bout was inconsistent.

Overview

  • Tapology briefly added one win and one loss from Ecuador’s 2017 Última Pelea series to Michael Morales’ ledger, changing his listing to 20-1.
  • Following backlash and review, Tapology apologized, reclassified those bouts as exhibitions, and returned Morales to 19-0.
  • Sherdog and other major record keepers did not alter Morales’ profile, saying Última Pelea’s tape‑delayed matches were treated as exhibitions.
  • The resurfaced footage shows an 18-year-old Morales losing a quarterfinal to Ricardo Centeno under a two-round, no-elbows format.
  • Morales condemned the initial change on social media, and no athletic commission or the UFC issued any ruling related to his record.
