Yan = 10 mois 👍

Gane = 4 combats en 4 ans 👍
Islam veut attendre 8/9 mois ? = 😡😡🤬😠🤯
Carlos Prates hasn’t fought since May & has only fought 1 time in 2026
Michael Morales hasn’t fought in close to a year & has 0 fights in 2026
But yet somehow Islam Makhachev who defended his title 8 weeks ago is holding up the division
Somebody make it make sense

Apparently we need to crown Mike Malott as the UFC WW champ bc he’s the only guy in the top 10 who’s fought more than 1 time in 2026
C - Islam Makhachev: 1
1 - Ian Machado Garry: 1
2 - Carlos Prates: 1
3 - Michael Morales: 0
4 - Jack Della Maddalena: 1
5 - Gabriel Bonfim: 1
6 - Sean Brady: 1
7 - Belal Muhammad: 1
8 - Leon Edwards: 0
9 - Kamaru Usman: 1
10 - Mike Malott: 2
Morales didn't fight for a year. Prates didn't fight for 5-6 months, Bec both of them believe they should be next in line, but Prates expects Islam to turn around 3 months for him.
Both Prates & Morales could've fought under the same card of Islam/Ian, but they didn't.

Ian Machado Garry doesn't get enough credit. He left Shavkat & Islam bedridden after each of their fights
Meanwhile Garry takes the quickest turn around possible against the toughest matchup he can find
Justin Gaethje & Sean Strickland haven't fought since May & June so the UFC needs to announced interim belts IMMEDIATELY but they have Dana White privilege
Man I wanted Islam to fight both Morales and Prates but Morales hasn’t fought all of 2026. Prates has done enough but I guess Morales vs Prates will set a clear undisputed number 1 contender
