Discussion is ongoing about who should be Islam Makhachev's next opponent, with two primary candidates emerging. The author suggests Ian Garry should come first due to the existing conflict and promotional buzz, followed by Carlos Prates.

Gabriel Moralés is noted as generating less hype by comparison. The post solicits fan opinions on the ideal opponent sequencing, with the author's preference being Garry first, then Prates.
