Michael Morales hints at potential title eliminator with Carlos Prates

Michael Morales posted a photo on social media suggesting a potential matchup. The post raises the question of whether Morales and Carlos Prates should fight to determine the next lightweight title challenger. If Islam Makhachev faces Ian Garry at UFC 330 in August as rumored, the champion would be ready for his next defense at the earliest in November. This timeline could allow for a title eliminator bout between Prates and Morales to determine Makhachev's subsequent opponent. The post asks fans to weigh in on who would win such a matchup between the two rising contenders.
