Carlos Prates recently admitted that he wants to fight for the welterweight title, but as per rumors, former champion Kamaru Usman will be Islam Makhachev’s next opponent.
Hence, in the meantime, Prates wants to fight Jack Della Maddalena or Michael Morales. JDM’ was dethroned by Makhachev earlier this year at UFC 322. On the same night, Prates became the first man to knock out former champion Leon Edwards, and Michael Morales also secured a first-round KO against top contender Sean Brady.
‘The Nightmare’ is currently riding a two-win streak with both his wins coming via knockout, and he intends to carry the same form into next year.
