Call me crazy but I got Morales to beat Prates by late finish or Dec. Heres why: -We’ve seen morales rocked once in his debut against Trevin Giles 15 sec into the first round by a one-two. I know one of prates best shots is his rear cross but he is a southpaw unlike Giles being an Orthodox. Although Morales is still susceptible to it if Prates switches stances or wins the front foot battle to line up his cross. -Morales has very high fight iq in terms of his preparation for the fight like his stance and game plan against Brady last year on ufc 322. I’m sure Morales & Team will make a plan to deal with Prates style. -Prates struggled to find his rhythm against Ian Garry who established the pace of the fight and dictated it until the last 2 mins of the fight. Morales will put the pressure on Prates and make him uncomfortable with takedowns too. -Morales has the strength and grappling advantage to take down and control prates. Prates got easily taken down by Garry and JDM who imo are way less strong than Morales. I mean the guy walks at 220. (However I could very well see the possibility of Morales’ weight cut to play a role of his ability to take prates shots and could get ko’d) -Morales barely fights off of the back foot. When prates is being pressured by guys like Garry who hit way less hard than morales, you know Morales would do the same. Conclusion: I don’t want to see this fight happen bc Morales and Prates are my 2 favorite Welterweights right now so I hope one of them pulls out and we can see Garry step in. Prates has history with Garry already and Morales has stated he dislikes Ian. I think Prates has a big chance to KO morales but I think he gets easily subbed or decisioned. I think Morales stylistically matches up better with Islam. This fight will suck to see bc whoever loses would have to work their way back up to a title shot. Final Note: Amosov annoys the fck out of me. He has 2 wins against Magny and Alvarez. No clue why those wins are rated so highly like we haven’t seen 14 other ppl do that to Magny and Alvarez just got whooped by 40 year old Chidi Njoukani this past August. I hope Garry decisions the sht out of him.

this is my list for 3 hardest hitters in each division currently anyone i should replace / missing someone? Heavyweight: Derrick Lewis, Sergei Pavlovich, Alex Pereira Light Heavyweight: Carlos Ulberg, Jiri Prochazka, Khalil Rountree Middleweight: Joe Pyfer, Ateba Gautier, Damian Pinas Welterweight: Carlos Prates, Uros Medic, Michael Morales Lightweight: Ilia Topuria, Justin Gaethje, Manuel Torres Featherweight: Kevin Vallejos, Jean Silva, Diego Lopes Bantamweight: Song Yadong, Malcolm Wellmaker, Montel Jackson Flyweight: Manel Kape, Ramazan Temirov, Lone’er Kavanagh

Movsar had a 6 year youth advantage over Volk & was undefeated. Volk called out the challenger and finished him in the 2nd round. Tom Aspinall had a 6 year youth advantage on Jones, and held the Interim title. Jones avoided him and called out someone who was NINE years older than Tom and then disappeared. Two very different mindsets, and two very different results. Food for thought 🙃
