Carlos Prates declared he will be next in line for a lightweight title shot after his upcoming victory over Jack Madalena. He stated he will fight the winner of the August bout between Ian Garry and Islam Makhachev. Prates believes a win over Madalena, a former champion, is sufficient to earn him a title shot. The post includes a poll asking whether defeating Jack is enough to become the next contender. Details on the specific context of Madalena being a "former champion" are limited in the original post.
