@loadedpunch: Carlos Prates Responds To Islam Makhachev’s Manager Claiming That He Wants To End The Champion’s Legacy. Islam Makhachev Was Rumored To Be Defending His Undisputed Welterweight Title Against Carlos Prates In The Main Event Of UFC 336. However, Things Took A Turn When The UFC Announced That Prates Would Instead Face Michael Morales In The Co-Main Event For The Interim Welterweight Title. The Sudden Change In Plans Led Prates To Call Out Makhachev, Accusing The Champion Of Ducking Him Out Of Fear. Meanwhile, Islam Has Stood By His Position That Prates Should First Fight Morales To Earn The Number One Contender Spot. With Tensions Continuing To Rise Between The Two, Prates Has Made It Clear That He Wants A Shot At The Welterweight Champion And The Opportunity To Prove That He Can Put An End To Islam’s Dominance.
