Carlos Prates Issues Challenge to Islam Makhachev

Carlos Prates is pursuing a title opportunity against Islam Makhachev after winning seven of his eight Octagon appearances. The Brazilian fighter has secured three consecutive knockout victories, including recent wins over former champions Leon Edwards and Jack Della Maddalena.

In a video posted to social media, Prates appeared with his new coach, Eric Albaraccin, to call out the reigning champion. Albaraccin, previously known for coaching Henry Cejudo and Patricio Pitbull, brings a significant wrestling background to the team. Prates currently seeks to transition his momentum into a championship clash against the Sambo specialist.
