Morales suggests bout with Prates to determine Makhachev's next challenger

Michael Morales posted on social media hinting at a potential matchup with Carlos Prates to establish the next lightweight title contender. The post raises the question of whether these two welterweights need to fight to determine who faces the champion, or if the hierarchy is already clear. If Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Garry is confirmed for UFC 330 in August, the champion would not be ready for his next title defense until November at the earliest. The post asks followers to vote on who would win if the UFC organizes Prates vs. Morales.
