“@islam_makhachev I’ve been working for my dream to be a champion at 17 years old, and now you postponed it,” Prates wrote on Instagram in Portuguese. “I’m number 1, I knocked out two former champions while Morales only beat Sean Brady. You told UFC you won’t be ready to fight in 3 months. Bro, you don’t drink, don’t smoke, don’t party and can’t you prepare for a fight in three months? Let me show you how it’s done.
