Michael Morales shared a photo on social media that appears to reference a potential fight with Carlos Prates. The post raises the question of whether these two welterweights need to fight to determine who faces the champion next. With Makhachev potentially facing Ian Garry at UFC 330 in August, the lightweight champion would not be ready for his next defense until November at the earliest. The post suggests UFC could organize a bout between Prates and Morales to determine the next contender, though specific details about timing or confirmation from the promotion are limited.
