Michael Morales posted a photo on social media hinting at a possible fight between himself and Carlos Prates. The post questioned whether these two should face each other to determine who gets a title shot, or if the answer is already clear. The post references potential timeline considerations, noting that if Islam Makhachev fights Ian Garry at UFC 330 in August, the champion would not be ready for another title defense until November at the earliest. A poll asked followers who would win if the UFC books Prates versus Morales.
