Carlos Prates Predicts Islam Makhachev vs. Michael Morales Next

Prates thinks Makhachev’s first welterweight defense won’t be ex-welterweight champion Kamaru Usman but #4-ranked Morales. “If Kamaru isn't fighting against Islam… they’re going to put Morales,” Prates said, citing rising trash talk between Morales and Islam. Prates added, "I don’t know what’s happening with Kamaru; he got an injury or something.” #6-ranked Prates also stated, "I want to fight JDM."
