the next WW contender will be...

it won't be Ian Garry. Garry says he will KO Belal. Garry oozes so much charisma, you want to believe him but when the fights happens he will point fight. Basically, he tricks people.

It won't be Brady, Brady beating Morales means nothing. Morales just doesn't have a big enough name yet. Brady needed to get the Garry or Shavkat fight. Its too bad because Morales is actually a way better fighter than Garry or Shavkat.

Prates will be the next WW contender. He will KO Leon. UFC will give him the next title shot because he's very entertaining. He's the A-side of the division.

Paddy could fill in and fill out!

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Probably be Islam vs Usman

Except that Garry outclassed Prates for most of their fight.

Prates is not a real contender.

Prates is not a real contender.

Prates could easily make it to a title shot with selective matchmaking. He's probably the best striker in the division.

With that said, Ian Garry is already a WW contender. He's easily a Top 5 guy and probably Top 3.

I think the UFC is looking for who ever is performing the best at the moment now. Do you think Garry deserves a title shot if he point fights Belal while Prates is doing Matrix style KOs ?

Irrelevant.

Prates doesn't have the stuff. End of story.

 

[Lawrence]

Shavkat used to fight in the UFC.

I miss those days.

If Brady beats Morales, he'll get the next shot. That seems pretty obvious.

Then again, these things are sometimes determined by the UFC's schedule and fighter availability.
