Carlos Prates is now in position to call out Islam Makhachev after finishing Jack Della Maddalena, whom Makhachev previously defeated by decision.

Ian Garry and Belal Morales are also mentioned as fighters creating buzz around Makhachev. The situation creates multiple compelling narrative options for the lightweight champion's next fight.
