UFC welterweight star Carlos Prates didn't take kindly to Uros Medic's callout in the Octagon at UFC Belgrade.

Ahead of UFC welterweight champion Islam Makhachev's showdown with Ian Machado Garry at UFC 330, Uros Medic made a statement by knocking out Daniel Rodriguez on home soil. Medic, a former Dana White's Contender Series standout, has won four fights in a row and is climbing towards title contention.

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.

After finishing Rodriguez, Medic turned his attention towards the welterweight division's top contenders, including Prates and former champ Leon Edwards. Prates didn't take long to take notice of Medic's post-fight interview.

Carlos Prates tells Uros Medic to ‘calm down' as he assures title shot is next

In a recent Instagram post, Prates responded to Medic's callout at UFC Belgrade.

“A lot of you guys, Sean Brady, Uros Medic, and the other welterweights, have been mentioning my name. Calm down, brothers,†Prates said.

“In my next fight, I'm taking that belt. After that, I'll deal with all of you and take you straight to the Kingdom of Pain. Be ready. Nothing personal, just business.â€

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.

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.

Rampage Jackson thinks King Green may have been saved from himself in UFC 332 loss: "

Quinton “Rampage†Jackson believes King Green may have been too tough for his own good this past Saturday.

Green collided with Esteban Ribovics on the UFC 332 main card in Salt Lake City. There was some bad blood going into this one after Green's team confronted Ribovics for missing weight. In the end, it was Ribovics who got the last laugh as he delivered several knockdowns to earn the first-round TKO finish.

While Green has said he wishes referee Herb Dean gave him more time to recover, Jackson told Nina Drama that the fan favorite lightweight was likely saved (h/t MMAMania).

“You put on a show before you worry about your own safety,†Jackson said. “We don't think about the wear and tear that we have on our body. That's what they be thinking about. Like, my brother, I wanted to see you win but that might have been a bad decision. What we don't think about in fighting is that s–t adds up.â€

Jackson made a rare appearance as a cornerman for Green, and he said it was difficult for him to deny the request.

“I don't really corner,†Jackson said. “Bobby asked me to corner him and all that stuff, I was like, ‘Ah, I don't wanna do all that stuff.' But, he's such a good guy, I didn't want to say no.â€

“Rampage†admitted that it was tough seeing Green suffer a TKO loss, but it comes with the territory of being a prizefighter.

“Bobby's an entertainer, he's going to bring it no matter what,†Jackson continued. “It's just, for me, he's my boy, he's like my brother. It just sucks seeing one of your boys get beat but it happens. It's part of the job.â€

Green will have to reassess what went wrong before his next outing, which likely won't be until 2027. His three-fight winning streak is over, but Green is no stranger to rebounding from defeat.

What do you think should be next for King Green? Let us know in the comments below.

Charles Oliveira-Diego Lopes BMF title fight headlines UFC 335
The
Ultimate Fighting Championship has a stacked year-ender taking
shape in Las Vegas.

Charles Oliveira will defend his BMF title against Diego Lopes
at UFC 335 in Las Vegas

During Saturday’s UFC
332 card, the UFC announced that Charles
Oliveira will make his Octagon return against Diego Lopes
with the honorific “BMF†championship on the line in the UFC
335 headliner. Oliveira (37-11, 1 NC; 25-11, 1 NC UFC) claimed
the BMF crown at UFC 326 after upending Max
Holloway on all scorecards. Prior to that, “do Bronxs†forced
Mateusz
Gamrot to tap to a face crank in their UFC Fight Night 261
encounter in October 2025.

Lopes (28-8, 7-3 UFC) had to weather the storm against Steve
Garcia in their UFC White House encounter, but he ultimately
scored a second-round knockout victory. The Lobo Gym MMA
representative bounced back after losing a one-sided decision to
Alexander
Volkanovski in their rematch at UFC 325.

On the same card, former two-division titleholder Alex
Pereira (13-4, 10-3 UFC) will try to score his first win at
heavyweight when he faces Sergei
Pavlovich. Pereira failed to become a three-division champion
when he lost to Ciryl Gane
in the UFC White House co-main event in June. Pavlovich (21-3, 9-3
UFC) smashed Tallison
Teixeira 39 seconds into the UFC Macau co-headliner. The winner
could be close to a shot at the divisional championship.

UFC 335 will take place in Las Vegas on Dec. 12. The card will also
feature a middleweight tilt between rising contenders Joe Pyfer and
Bo
Nickal.

Ciryl Gane shares first words since Tom Aspinall vacated UFC heavyweight title amid latest eye setback

The Octagon returns to Salt Lake City for tonight's UFC 332 event, a 14-bout fight card headlined by Natalia Silva vs. Wang Cong.

Silva and Cong will be competing for the vacant women's flyweight title, this after longtime champion Valentina Shevchenko was forced to vacate the belt due to injury.

Natalia Silva (20-5-1 MMA) will enter the contest sporting a 14-fight winning streak, with her most recent Octagon victory coming over Rose Namajunas this past January at UFC 324. The 29-year-old Brazilian has not tasted defeat since suffering a unanimous decision loss to Marina Rodriguez way back in December of 2017.

Meanwhile, Wang Cong (10-1 MMA) currently boasts a four-fight winning streak, with her most recent victory coming over Tracy Cortez this past July at UFC 329. ‘The Joker' suffered her lone career loss to Gabriella Fernandes via technical submission back in November of 2024.

UFC 332 is co-headlined by a men's bantamweight matchup featuring Deiveson Figueiredo taking on Payton Talbott.

Figueiredo (25-7-1 MMA) will enter the bout with hopes of snapping a two-fight losing skid. The former flyweight kingpin is coming off losses to Umar Nurmagomedov and Song Yadong in his most recent efforts. ‘Figgy' has gone just 1-4 over his past five Octagon appearances overall.

Meanwhile, Payton Talbott (11-1 MMA) will be returning to action for the first time since scoring a unanimous decision win over former bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo at UFC 323. The 28-year-old has gone 4-1 over his past five fights, with his lone loss in that time coming by way of decision to Raoni Barcelos.

Also featured on tonight's UFC 332 main card lineup is a lightweight bout between King Green and Esteban Ribovics.

Green (36-17-1 MMA) will enter the contest on a four-fight winning streak, this after scoring three straight finishes over Daniel Zellhuber, Jeremy Stephens and Terrance McKinney (see that here). The longtime veteran has gone 7-3 over his past 10 Octagon apperances overall.

Meanwhile, Esteban Ribovics (16-3 MMA) was most previously seen in action this past August at UFC 330, where he scored a second-round TKO victory over Edson Barboza. ‘El Gringo' has gone 3-2 over his past five fights overall.
