Michael Morales teases potential matchup with Carlos Prates

Michael Morales posted a photo on social media suggesting a potential fight between himself and Carlos Prates to determine the next lightweight title challenger. The post asks whether these two should fight to decide who faces the champion, or if the answer is already clear. If Islam Makhachev versus Ian Garry happens at UFC 330 in August, the champion would not be ready for his next defense until November at the earliest. The post includes a poll asking fans who would win if UFC books Prates versus Morales.
