Medic, a former <em>Dana White\u2019s Contender Series<\/em> standout, has won four fights in a row and is climbing towards title contention.<\/p>\n<p>Medic is one of several intriguing contenders in the stacked UFC welterweight division. Carlos Prates, who finished former champion Jack Della Maddalena at UFC Perth, could potentially be next in line for a title shot against the Makhachev vs. Garry winner.<\/p>\n<p>After finishing Rodriguez, Medic turned his attention towards the welterweight division\u2019s top contenders, including Prates and former champ Leon Edwards. Prates didn\u2019t take long to take notice of Medic\u2019s post-fight interview.<\/p>\n<h2>Carlos Prates tells Uros Medic to \u2018calm down\u2019 as he assures title shot is next<\/h2>\n<p>In a recent <em>Instagram<\/em> post, Prates responded to Medic\u2019s callout at UFC Belgrade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of you guys, Sean Brady, Uros Medic, and the other welterweights, have been mentioning my name. Calm down, brothers,\u201d Prates said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my next fight, I\u2019m taking that belt. After that, I\u2019ll deal with all of you and take you straight to the Kingdom of Pain. Be ready. Nothing personal, just business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prates and UFC 330 backup fighter Michael Morales both make intriguing cases for the next title shot. But Makhachev recently claimed that Morales will need to fight at least one more time before getting a shot at the belt, opening the door to Prates and others.<\/p>\n<p>If Garry beats Makhachev at UFC 330, the matchmakers would likely give the pound-for-pound king an immediate welterweight title rematch. And if Makhachev successfully defends the title, expect Prates to be next in line.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Who should Carlos Prates fight next?
