Quick read

A debate is taking place regarding who should be Islam Makhachev's next opponent, with the discussion focusing on Ian Garry versus Carlos Prates. The post suggests that Garry should come first, followed by Prates, noting there is conflict and competitive matchmaking potential with both fighters that would be dangerous for Makhachev. The post emphasizes that fans want rivalry and excitement outside the cage, which both potential matchups would provide. The author mentions that Shavkat Rakhmonov is not generating the same level of buzz. This appears to be a media discussion rather than an official announcement.
