Quick read
Michael Morales posted on social media suggesting a potential fight between himself and Carlos Prates to determine the next lightweight title challenger. The post raises the question of whether this matchup is necessary or if the next contender is already clear. 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. This timeline creates an opportunity for top contenders like Morales and Prates to fight each other in the interim. Morales is polling his followers on who would win if the UFC books this fight.
