Michael Morales posts photo suggesting potential title eliminator bout with Carlos Prates

Michael Morales has posted a photo on social media implying a potential matchup to determine the next lightweight title challenger. The post raises the question of whether Morales and Prates should fight to determine who faces the champion, or if the hierarchy is already clear. If Islam Makhachev faces Ian Garry at UFC 330 in August as expected, the champion would not be ready for another defense until November at the earliest. The post includes a poll asking fans who would win if UFC organizes Prates versus Morales.
