Daniel Cormier suggests Carlos Prates as replacement opponent for Islam Makhachev

Daniel Cormier has proposed that Carlos Prates replace Ian Garry as Islam Makhachev's next opponent. Cormier argues that Prates' recent performance was more impressive than Makhachev's victory over Jack Della Maddalena. He suggests that Della Maddalena simply didn't match up well against Prates' skill level. The post includes a poll asking fans whether Prates would be more interesting than Garry, or if Garry remains the better option due to Prates' potential vulnerabilities in grappling. Cormier's comments highlight the growing buzz around Prates as a potential challenger in the lightweight division.
