Commentary suggests Carlos Prates now has strong leverage to challenge Islam Makhachev, having finished Jack Della Maddalena whom Makhachev defeated by decision. The post notes Prates can publicly claim he 'actually finished' Maddalena while Makhachev did not. This creates multiple potential media-driven opponents for Makhachev's next title defense. Ian Garry and others are also mentioned as potential verbal challengers who will use similar talking points to build fights.
