Stabbed, beaten with bats, jailed - Daniel Morales is not wrong when he says he's lucky to be alive after a "reckless" youth. He says martial arts literally saved his life.

Morales fights next month at GLORY 50 CHICAGO on Friday, February 16, where he opens the Superfight Series card against Omari Boyd.

GLORY 50 CHICAGO takes place Friday, February 16 at the UIC Pavilion, Chicago.

The SuperFight Series section of the card streams live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS at 8:30 p.m. ET / 5:30 p.m PT.
