Islam Makhachev just defended his title at UFC 330, but who's next for the champ? We're hearing that the commentary team was hyping up Carlos Prates and Michael Morales as potential contenders. Prates, for his part, is full of confidence and has a "chilling promise" for Makhachev. However, Prates also had to deny turning down a fight with Morales, stating, "I'm not scared".
Tsarukyan also accused Charles Oliveira of using the death of his friend, Allan Nascimento, as an excuse to avoid a rematch. It seems like everyone wants a piece of Makhachev, and the UFC has some tough decisions to make.
