Michael Morales posts photo hinting at showdown with Carlos Prates

Michael Morales shared a photo on social media that appears to tease a potential matchup with Carlos Prates. The post raises the question of whether these two welterweights need to fight to determine who gets the next title shot, or if the picture is already clear. If Islam Makhachev faces Ian Garry at UFC 330 in August as rumored, the champion would not be ready for another defense until November at the earliest. The post asks fans who would win if the UFC books Prates versus Morales, suggesting both are in the title conversation at 170 pounds.
