Discussion: Ian Garry or Carlos Prates as ideal next opponent for Makhachev

A discussion post proposes that the ideal next opponents for Islam Makhachev would be Ian Garry followed by Carlos Prates. The author argues both matchups would generate significant buzz and present genuine competitive challenges and danger for Makhachev. Garry and Prates both offer pre-fight conflict and media attention that fans desire beyond just in-cage competition. The post suggests Shavkat Rakhmonov represents the 'final boss' challenge after these fights. Diego Moralles is mentioned as not generating the same level of excitement. The author solicits opinions from followers on their preferred opponent sequence for the lightweight champion.
