Daniel Cormier suggests Carlos Prates as Islam Makhachev opponent

Daniel Cormier has proposed Carlos Prates as a replacement opponent for Islam Makhachev instead of Ian Garry. Cormier argued that Prates' recent dominant performance was far more impressive than Makhachev's victory over Jack Della Maddalena, noting that Prates made Della Maddalena look outclassed in a way that suggests Della Maddalena is not at Prates' level. The suggestion implies Prates would present a more compelling challenge for the lightweight champion. Cormier's comments reflect growing recognition of Prates' striking power and recent form. The post includes a poll asking fans whether they prefer Prates or Garry as Makhachev's next opponent.
