Islam Makhachev discusses potential welterweight title contenders, including Carlos Prates, Michael Morales, Ian Garry, and Kamaru Usman. Makhachev has not confirmed his next opponent but suggests Prates could be a strong matchup due to recent performance.
Carlos Prates should not count himself out of the next Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight title shot just yet.
Prates, Michael Morales, Ian Garry and Kamaru Usman are all in the running for the next welterweight title shot against Islam Makhachev (28-1). Prates dominantly beat down Jack Della Maddlena en route to a third-round stoppage win at UFC Perth last weekend and subsequently claimed that Makhachev is set to defend his title against Garry in August. “The Nightmare” said that he is willing to wait for the winner of that bout, which was allegedly confirmed. However, Makhachev says no one from the UFC has said who his next opponent will be. According to Makhachev, there are still four contenders in the running for the next title shot, including Usman, who himself admitted that he is out of the race.
“The UFC haven’t informed me yet, but there’s been a lot of rumors about me fighting Ian Garry next,” Makhachev told Red Corner MMA. “Yet, I haven’t talked with any [UFC] officials about this fight. So, I can’t tell for sure who is the next contender. I’ve got three or four possible matchups. Kamaru Usman is also up there. Ian Garry, Morales, Prates. That’s four contenders, plus Shavkat [Rakhmonov] might be No. 5. They’re all expecting a title shot.”
Based on Prates’ win over Maddalena last weekend, Makhachev believes a fight against the Brazilian would generate the most hype.
“I think Prates has got the hype now. He’s talked about much more now. So, I think a fight against him would be the most interesting.”
Prates (24-7) suffered his only UFC loss against Garry.
The top contenders for the UFC welterweight title shot include Carlos Prates, Michael Morales, Ian Garry, Kamaru Usman, and possibly Shavkat Rakhmonov.
Islam Makhachev stated that he hasn't been informed by the UFC about his next opponent, despite rumors suggesting he might fight Ian Garry.
Carlos Prates is considered a strong contender due to his recent dominant victory over Jack Della Maddalena, which has generated significant hype around him.
