Michael Morales posts photo hinting at Carlos Prates matchup discussion

Michael Morales shared a photo on social media that has sparked discussion about a potential fight between him and Carlos Prates. The post raises questions about whether the two need to fight to determine the next lightweight title challenger. If Islam Makhachev faces Ian Garry at UFC 330 in August as rumored, the champion would not be ready for another defense until November at the earliest. The timing could align with a Prates vs. Morales eliminator bout. Fans are being asked to vote on who would win such a matchup.
