Islam Makhachev reacts to Prates victory: 'Great work, Nutella cake'

Islam Makhachev responded to Carlos Prates' recent knockout victory with a playful comment on social media. The lightweight champion wrote 'Great work, Nutella cake' in reaction to the performance, using an apparent nickname for the Brazilian striker. The comment suggests Makhachev is paying attention to Prates' rise in the welterweight division, though it remains unclear whether this indicates genuine interest in a potential future matchup or is simply friendly banter. Prates has been on a remarkable finishing streak in the UFC, drawing attention from fighters across multiple divisions.
