Michael Morales posts photo suggesting bout with Carlos Prates

Michael Morales published a photo on social media that appears to tease a potential matchup with Carlos Prates. The post raises questions about whether the two should fight to determine the next lightweight title challenger. If Islam Makhachev faces Ian Garry at UFC 330 in August as rumored, the champion would not be ready for his next defense until November at the earliest. The post asks fans to weigh in on who would win if the UFC organizes Prates versus Morales. This would be a high-stakes eliminator bout in a crowded lightweight division.
