He instead stepped in for Bob Sapp at Impact FC 2 - The Uprising: Sydney against Soa Palelei and lost via Submission (Kimura) in the first round.[5]
Morris was expected to face Fabiano Scherner at Brace For War 6 in November[6] but Scherner pulled out of fight due to travel issues undefeated Josh "Yogi" Ogilvie was supposed to step in, and serve as Scherner's replacement.[7] However, Ogilvie was injured during overseas training, and Morris faced former King of the Cage Light Heavyweight & Heavyweight champion and current Powerhouse World Promotions Light Heavyweight champion Tony Lopez.[8] Morris lost to Lopez via Submission (Rear Naked Choke) in the second round.
