Alibi Idiris hopes full camp pays off vs. UFC vet Morales in 'TUF 33' finale
CHICAGO – Alibi Idiris met the media Wednesday ahead of his fight at UFC 319. Idiris (10-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) meets Joseph Morales (12-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) in the Season 33 flyweight final of "The Ultimate Fighter." Their fight takes place on the preliminary card at United Center in Chicago. At media day, Idiris took questions from media members before his "TUF" finale fight. Idiris will have a unique experience heading into his tournament final in that his opponent, Morales, already has three fights in the UFC years ago. But he's not necessarily thinking he'll be at a disadvantage, especially since he got to have a full fight camp instead of just a few days on the show. "We had to fight very frequently. For this one, I got the whole came with my full team, so I feel good," Idiris said at his media day. Check out Idiris' full media day interview in the video above.

'New star flyweight?': 'TUF 33' fighter promises Dana White he's the real deal after nasty KO
Alibi Idiris ran to Dana White after his flying knee knockout on #TUF33 🗣️ Could Alibi Idiris be the future of the UFC flyweight division? If you ask him, he sure thinks so. In his "The Ultimate Fighter 33" semifinal bout that aired Wednesday on ESPN/ESPN+, Idiris (10-0) made quick work of Goat Shed product Roybert Echeverria (10-2) with a flying knee knockout in Round 1. Immediately after the victory, Kazakhstan's Idiris ran to Dana White to let him know what's what. "I want bonus from you, bro," Idiris said through the cage to White. "My name is Alibi Idiris. I have 12 wins, no losses. I'm the new star flyweight." Idiris, 25, has a knack for the violent attack. While this bout was an exhibition, his two most recent professional wins have come in brutal fashion, including this spinning back kick. A large exporter of spinning shit (Alibi Idiris) Idiris will now compete in the "TUF 33" flyweight final, which is expected to take place on the UFC 319 undercard Aug. 16 in Chicago, according to multiple sources who informed MMA Junkie of the plans. He'll face the winner of Imanol Rodriguez (5-0) vs. Joseph Morales (12-2).
