Daniel Cormier suggests Carlos Prates as alternative opponent for Makhachev

Quick read

Daniel Cormier has proposed replacing Islam Makhachev's planned opponent with Carlos Prates. Cormier argues that while Makhachev recently dominated Jack Della Maddalena to win his title, Prates' performance against Della Maddalena was far more impressive, making him a more compelling challenger. Cormier believes Prates demonstrated that Della Maddalena is not on his level. The post appears to contrast Prates with Ian Garry as potential next opponents for the lightweight champion. However, no official change has been announced.
