A discussion has emerged regarding the ideal next opponent for Islam Makhachev, with the author suggesting Ian Garry followed by Carlos Prates as the optimal sequence. The post argues that both matchups would generate significant buzz and present genuine danger for Makhachev, with existing conflicts adding to the storylines. The author believes that while Shavkat Rakhmonov (Morales in the original text appears to be a translation error for Shavkat) doesn't generate as much hype, viewers want to see rivalry and excitement both inside and outside the cage. The post invites readers to share their preferred opponent sequence in the comments.
