Media personality Igor Lazorin posed the question of who the ideal next opponent for Islam Makhachev should be. He suggests first Ian Garry, then Carlos Prates, arguing that both matchups would generate significant hype and present real danger for Makhachev. Lazorin notes that fans want rivalry and noise outside the cage, which both potential bouts would deliver. He contrasts this with Michael Morales, who he feels does not create the same level of buzz. The post invites readers to share their preferred matchmaking sequence in the comments.
