Quick read
Following his victory over Jack Della Maddalena, Carlos Prates is now in position to challenge Islam Makhachev and point out that he finished Maddalena earlier than Makhachev did. The post notes that Makhachev now has many potential media-driven opponents creating storylines, with Ian Garry and Diego Morales mentioned as not being first in line. The comment suggests Prates has earned the credibility to engage in promotional back-and-forth with the lightweight champion based on this performance.
