Following Carlos Prates's early stoppage victory over Jack Della Maddalena, he now has grounds to challenge Islam Makhachev by claiming he "managed to finish Della Maddalena early" unlike Makhachev. The post suggests that Makhachev now has many potential media-driven opponents creating storylines, with Ian Garry and others beyond just the obvious contenders. The post notes that both Garry and another fighter (likely referencing previous callouts) would not be first in line for these media confrontations. Details about the specifics of Prates's finish or timeline are limited in this brief commentary.
