Carlos Prates calls for title shot against UFC 330 main event winner

Carlos Prates has declared he will fight the winner of the welterweight title bout scheduled for UFC 330 on August 15th between Islam Makhachev and Ian Garry. Prates stated he will be ringside in August watching the fight and expects to face the winner next. He praised Jack Della Maddalena's boxing and said he was wary of his hands, but believes he is the superior striker with more weapons including punches, kicks, and knees. The post asks whether Prates deserves the next title shot or should face a number one contender bout against Joaquin Buckley first.
