Ian Garry proposed as ideal next opponent for Islam Makhachev before Prates

A discussion proposes the ideal sequence of opponents for Islam Makhachev, suggesting Ian Garry should be next followed by Carlos Prates. The reasoning emphasizes that both matchups would generate significant buzz and conflict outside the cage, which audiences desire. Both are considered competitive and dangerous for Makhachev from a sporting perspective. The post notes that Shavkat Rakhmonov does not generate the same level of excitement or media attention. The author seeks audience input on the best opponent order, with their personal preference being Garry first, then Prates. This represents speculation about future matchmaking rather than official announcements.
