Moraes posts photo hinting at Prates matchup for lightweight title shot

Michael Moraes posted a photo on social media that appears to hint at a potential fight with Carlos Prates to determine the next lightweight title challenger. The post comes as Islam Makhachev is expected to face Ian Garry at UFC 330 in August, which would make the champion available for his next defense at the earliest in November. The post asks fans who would win if UFC books Prates versus Moraes. If the Makhachev-Garry fight happens as planned, the winner of a potential Prates-Moraes bout could be in position for the next title shot.
