Carlos Prates Believes He or Michael Morales is Next for UFC Title Shot

Carlos Prates is not worried about Ian Garry jumping ahead of him in the title race.

The UFC welterweight division is currently teeming with title contenders. Islam Makhachev became the new welterweight champion with a dominant victory over Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 322 on Saturday. Meanwhile, Prates announced himself as a legitimate contender by knocking out former champion Leon Edwards on the main card. The same card saw Michael Morales emerge as a contender with a first-round knockout win over Sean Brady.
