Morales posts photo with Prates, hints at potential title eliminator matchup

Michael Morales shared a photo on social media that appears to suggest a potential matchup between himself and Carlos Prates. The post questions whether the two fighters should face each other to determine who gets the next title shot, or if the answer is already clear. If Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Garry is indeed scheduled for UFC 330 in August, the champion would not be ready for his next defense until November at the earliest. This timing could open the door for a title eliminator bout between Morales and Prates in the welterweight division.
