<\/div>\n

Sean
\nBrady<\/a> claims Carlos
\nPrates<\/a> doesn\u2019t have the tools to deal with Islam
\nMakhachev<\/a>\u2019s wrestling.<\/p>\n

Michael
\nMorales<\/a> (19-0) and Prates (24-7) are the leading contenders for
\nthe next
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> welterweight title shot against
\nMakhachev (29-1). Brady believes Morales will give Makhachev a
\nharder time than Prates will, citing how the Ecuadorian is more of
\nan unknown and his grappling hasn\u2019t been put to the test in the
\nUFC.<\/p>\n

Sean Brady explains why Michael Morales poses a tougher test
\nfor Islam Makhachev<\/h2>\n

While Brady (19-2) acknowledges Prates\u2019 dangerous knockout power,
\nhe believes Makhachev will have his way against the Brazilian on
\nthe ground. Brady notes that we\u2019re yet to see Morales get
\nchallenged on the ground, hence making him more of a puzzle for the
\nUFC welterweight champ.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Prates can knock anybody out, for sure,\u201d Brady told Ariel
\nHelwani. \u201cOut of Prates and Morales, everyone\u2019s gonna say I\u2019m
\nbiased because I lost to Morales, but I think Morales will give
\nIslam a harder time. I was asking for the Carlos Prates fight, so
\nI\u2019ve gone back and done the tape study on him, where I\u2019ve seen guys
\nin One FC take him down and beat him on the ground. I think Islam
\nwill be able to do the same thing, whereas with Morales, we still
\ndon\u2019t know how good he is. We still don\u2019t know how good his ground
\ngame is. We don\u2019t know how good his cardio is. We don\u2019t know all
\nthese things, and I think that\u2019s gonna play a lot more of a
\nfactor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morales hasn\u2019t fought since finishing Brady last November and the
\nlatter believes the unbeaten 170-pounder needs to beat either
\nIan
\nGarry<\/a> or Shavkat
\nRakhmonov<\/a> before fighting for the title. Moreover, Makhachev
\nhas already set his sights on Prates for his second title defense
\nat welterweight.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Brady rebounded from the loss to Morales with a dominant
\ndecision win over Joaquin
\nBuckley<\/a>. He is now scheduled to fight Gabriel
\nBonfim<\/a> (20-1) on Nov. 7 at Meta Apex in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Sean Brady<\/a>
\nexplains why he believes Michael
\nMorales<\/a> has a better chance of beating Islam
\nMakhachev<\/a> than Carlos
\nPrates<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Prates can knock anybody out, for sure. Out of Prates and
\nMorales, everyone\u2019s gonna say I\u2019m biased because I lost to Morales,
\nbut I think Morales will\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/CVsJ9iXD5m<\/a><\/p>\n
