Carlos Prates now has ammunition to challenge Islam Makhachev by pointing out that he was able to finish Jack Della Maddalena, something Makhachev did not accomplish. The post suggests this gives Prates talking points for potential promotional rivalry with Makhachev. The author notes that Makhachev now has multiple potential media-friendly opponents creating storylines, with Ian Garry and Shavkat Rakhmonov also in the mix. The comment implies these fighters will generate promotional interest through their ability to create narratives around their performances compared to Makhachev's.
