Makhachev is also game to fight before Ramadan 2027, as he said after a successful title defence at UFC 330.<\/p>\n<p>Prates has already warned Makhachev, saying he\u2019s going to knock him out and is \u201cwrestling\u2019s worst nightmare.\u201d Now Prates\u2019 teammate Silva has explained why he\u2019s confident \u201cThe Nightmare\u201d will send the two-division UFC champion to the shadow realm.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jean Silva explains why Carlos Prates will knock out Islam Makhachev <\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During a recent interview with MMA Fighting, \u201cLord\u201d said that after watching Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Machado Garry, he\u2019s confident that Makhachev will not trade with a knockout artist like Carlos Prates. As per the Brazilian 145-pounder, Garry doesn\u2019t have the same knockout power as Prates. Hence, Makhachev chose to stand and bang with the Irishman.<\/p>\n<p>However, when the Dagestani wrestling maestro takes on \u201cThe Nightmare\u201d, Silva believes it\u2019ll be hard for Makhachev to \u2018go 5 rounds without taking a heavy blow from Prates.\u2019 He said:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe [Islam Makhachev] stood to trade with Ian Garry, because Ian Garry doesn\u2019t have the kind of knockout power that Prates has, He\u2019s not going to stand and trade with Prates. That\u2019s a huge advantage for Carlos Prates, because he knows that the moment he lands his hand, the fight is over, It\u2019s five rounds. I doubt he can go five rounds without taking a big shot from Prates.\u201d [h\/t: MMA Fighting]<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Check out Jean Silva\u2019s comments about potential Islam Makhachev vs. Carlos Prates below:<\/em><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jean Silva is confident Carlos Prates will be the one to dethrone Islam Makhachev:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The moment he lands his hand, the fight is over, It\u2019s five rounds.
