Carlos Prates Claims Kamaru Usman Could Be Next For Islam Makhachev Title Shot

The #6-ranked contender believes ex-champion Usman could jump the queue for the welterweight champion Makahchev's first title defense. “Kamaru could cut the line from what I’m hearing. That is what Makhachev wants. They have the same management,” Prates said. He still favors the champion, adding, “It’s not an easy fight for Makhachev, but I don’t think Usman wins.”
