Quick read

MMA journalist Ariel Helwani shared his vision for the welterweight division's immediate future. He predicts Islam Makhachev will face Ian Garry in August for what appears to be a title fight or major contender bout. Helwani also envisions Carlos Prates fighting Vicente Luque in the fall to determine the number one contender in the division. The proposed timeline would give both potential championship eliminators time to materialize after recent results. Helwani's prediction reflects the current momentum of rising contenders and the division's hierarchy. The post asks readers whether they agree with this proposed booking sequence.
