\u201cVandetta\u201d is back in the win column.<\/p>\n
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Bantamweight Vince Morales needed just 63 seconds to stop fellow UFC veteran Daniel Lacerda in the main event of Tuff-N-Uff<\/a> 158 this past weekend (Sat., Oct. 24, 2026) inside Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n Morales pressured Lacerda from the opening bell while the Brazilian fired off a steady stream of kicks. After briefly stunning Lacerda with a combination against the fence, Morales caught him rushing forward with a stiff jab that sent him crashing to the canvas.<\/p>\n \u201cVandetta\u201d immediately pounced and unloaded ground-and-pound until the referee stepped in to stop the fight.<\/p>\n Check out the 63-second finish below:<\/p>\n Morales (17-11) snapped a four-fight losing streak that included decision losses to Colby Thicknesse, Raul Rosas Jr. and Taylor Lapilus during his second UFC stint<\/a>.<\/p>\n Unfortunately for the 35-year-old, a third trip to the Octagon appears unlikely. Morales compiled a 3-9 promotional record across two separate UFC runs, meaning no matter how many opponents he dispatches on the regional scene<\/a>, the matchmakers probably are not calling again.<\/p>\n That leaves several possible landing spots. Perhaps PFL\/MVP needs another recognizable UFC veteran, or maybe Morales joins Scott Coker\u2019s new Ki MMA promotion.<\/p>\n As for Lacerda (13-8), the loss snapped his two-fight MMA winning streak. More concerning, he was knocked unconscious by Andre Ewell at Karate Combat exactly one month earlier, making the quick turnaround\u2014and another stoppage loss\u2014difficult to ignore.<\/p>\n Hopefully, Lacerda takes some much-needed time away before competing again.<\/p>\n
