Quick read
Following Carlos Prates' early finish of Jack Della Maddalena, he is now in a position to call out Islam Makhachev, particularly emphasizing that he finished Maddalena faster than Makhachev did. This creates potential media rivalries for Makhachev with multiple fighters. The post suggests that Ian Garry and Joaquin Buckley (Morales) would not be the first in line as media opponents for the lightweight champion. Prates' impressive performance has elevated his status as a potential challenger. The finish provides Prates with credibility and talking points for promoting a future title fight.
