Michael Morales posts photo, teases potential eliminator with Carlos Prates

Michael Morales shared a photo on social media, prompting speculation about a potential matchup with Carlos Prates. The post raises the question of whether these two fighters should compete to determine the next challenger for the champion. If Islam Makhachev faces Ian Garry at UFC 330 in August, the champion would likely not be ready for another title defense until November at the earliest. The post asks fans to vote on who would win if the UFC books Prates versus Morales. Both are rising contenders in the welterweight division, and a clash between them could produce a clear number-one contender.
