Quick read

A prominent MMA commentator is polling the audience about who should be Islam Makhachev's next opponent, advocating for Ian Garry first followed by Carlos Prates. The reasoning emphasizes that both matchups would generate significant buzz and genuine sporting competition while presenting danger for Makhachev. The post suggests Garry and Prates create more excitement and conflict outside the cage compared to other potential challengers. Bryan Morales is mentioned as not generating the same level of hype. The commentator's preferred sequence is Garry as the immediate next fight, then Prates after that. Fans are encouraged to share their preferred opponent choices in the comments.
