Carlos Prates announced he will fight the winner of the welterweight title bout scheduled for UFC 330 on August 15th. He stated he will be sitting ringside watching Islam Makhachev face Ian Garry and will fight the victor. Prates praised Jack Della Maddalena's boxing and admitted he feared his hands, but believes himself to be the superior striker. He emphasized his ability to strike with hands, legs, and knees, demonstrating his well-rounded striking game. The post asked fans whether Prates deserves an immediate title shot or needs a contender fight with Vicente Luque first.
