Sean Brady spots major Carlos Prates weakness against Islam Makhachev

Sean Brady said Carlos Prates lacks the tools to handle Islam Makhachev's wrestling, a view shaping the UFC welterweight title discussion. Brady compared Michael Morales (19-0) and Prates (24-7) for Islam Makhachev's (29-1) next UFC welterweight title defense, arguing Morales may be the tougher test because his grappling in the UFC remains unproven. While acknowledging Prates' knockout power, Brady cited One FC footage of Prates being taken down and suggested Makhachev would control him on the ground. He added Morales still has questions in cardio and ground game after stopping Brady last November. Brady said Morales should face Ian Garry or Shavkat Rakhmonov first, as Makhachev has targeted Prates.
