Carlos Prates is now positioned to challenge Islam Makhachev and claim he finished Jack Della Maddalena earlier than Makhachev did. This creates a new narrative angle for potential callouts and media attention. The post notes that Makhachev now has multiple potential opponents creating media storylines, with Ian Garry and Shavkat Rakhmonov also mentioned as possibilities. The comparison of finish times against a common opponent provides Prates with promotional leverage for a future title shot discussion.
