The former UFC bantamweight champion, American T.J. Dillashaw, expressed the opinion that Brazilian welterweight Carlos Prates currently stands no chance in a potential fight with Dagestani Islam Makhachev.

"Prates needs a better understanding of grappling, it will really help him. Because you see the mistakes... Islam is the champion now, and he'll just blow him away, it would be an easy fight. I don't think Prates should insist on a championship fight right now," Dillashaw said on the JAXXON podcast.

Let us remind you that last weekend Prates knocked out Leon Edwards.
