Carlos Prates is now positioned to call out Islam Makhachev after his early finish of Jack Della Maddalena, particularly since Makhachev went to decision with the same opponent. The post suggests Prates can use this talking point to promote a potential fight. This gives Makhachev numerous potential media-driven opponents. Ian Garry and Bo Nickal (Moralés) are mentioned as other possibilities who would also bring promotional angles. The early stoppage gives Prates legitimate grounds for comparison.
