Prates calls for welterweight title shot after Makhachev-Garry winner

Carlos Prates declared he will fight the winner of the welterweight title bout scheduled for UFC 330 on August 15th between Islam Makhachev and Ian Garry. In his statement, Prates said he'll be in the front row watching their fight and will face whoever wins. He praised Jack Della Maddalena's boxing and admitted being wary of his hands, but believes he himself is the better striker with more versatility using punches, kicks, and knees. The post asks fans whether Prates deserves the next title shot or needs a contender fight against Morales first.
