The welterweight division is getting spicy, with Carlos Prates openly provoking Michael Morales. Prates, in a video released by "Champions Collection," denied any fear of facing Morales and stated his priorities in the organization. This comes after rumors suggested Prates was avoiding a fight with Morales, and now Prates is making it clear he's ready to go. "I'm going to knock you out real quick," Prates said, setting the stage for a potential showdown.
