Cormier suggests Carlos Prates as opponent for Islam Makhachev over Ian Garry

Daniel Cormier has proposed that Carlos Prates would be a more impressive opponent for lightweight champion Islam Makhachev than Ian Garry. Cormier referenced Makhachev's recent victory over Jack Della Maddalena, stating that while Makhachev dominated and won the belt, his performance was not as eye-catching as what Prates accomplished against the same opponent. Prates delivered a spectacular finish that suggested Della Maddalena was simply outclassed. The post invites fans to vote on whether Prates would be a more interesting matchup than Garry, with some noting that Prates may have vulnerabilities in grappling.
