Prates can now claim he finished Della Maddalena faster than Makhachev

The post notes that Carlos Prates now has ammunition to challenge Islam Makhachev on social media, as he was able to finish Jack Della Maddalena early while Makhachev went to a decision. The author suggests this gives Prates legitimate talking points in any potential buildup to a future fight. According to the post, Islam now has multiple potential opponents creating media narratives, with Ian Garry and others also positioning themselves for a title shot. The comment implies that Garry and Tsarukyan (referenced as Morales) wouldn't necessarily be the top media rivals for Makhachev anymore given Prates' statement-making performance.
