Islam Makhachev, UFC welterweight champion, named two desired opponents.

"If Shavkat returns, I don't think anyone will give him a title shot right now, but if they do — no problem at all. There are many fighters in the welterweight division now, the division has changed, many new names have appeared. Morales would be a good opponent because he is undefeated. Prates recently lost to Ian Garry. If we take Garry — he lost to Shavkat. They already have a history of losses. If choosing — it could be Michael Morales or Kamaru Usman, who are doing well at the moment."
