Carlos Prates vs. Michael Morales Interim Title Bout Slated for UFC 336
Carlos Prates and Michael Morales will fight for the interim welterweight championship at UFC 336, where Islam Makhachev will not be competing.
· VILLAND PICK editorial
The lineup for UFC 336 is taking shape with major divisional implications. Carlos Prates and Michael Morales are set to collide for the interim welterweight championship on the card. Additionally, a matchup between Joshua Van and Manel Kape is also scheduled for the event, while lightweight champion Islam Makhachev will not be competing.
These upcoming bookings follow the aftermath of UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi, which delivered high-level action to close out the event with Alexander Volkanovski and Petr Yan leaving as champions. In the wake of that card, discussions have surfaced regarding Volkanovski potentially moving up to face Justin Gaethje, creating questions surrounding Arman Tsarukyan's position in the lightweight title picture.
Elsewhere across the sport, Tsarukyan and Khamzat Chimaev recently secured dominant victories at RAF 14. In the immediate schedule, the Octagon heads to UFC Vegas 123, which is headlined by a lightweight clash between Renato Moicano and Tom Nolan.
