On To the Next One What's Next For Carlos Prates, Other Big Winners At UFC Perth?

Carlos Prates delivered the performance of a lifetime in the main event of UFC Perth on Saturday at RAC Arena, obliterating former champion Jack Della Maddalena before unleashing a vicious finish in the third round. "The Nightmare" wants a title fight, and appears willing to wait for it, but is that what the UFC will want? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss where Prates goes after the biggest win of his career, and second straight finish of a former champ. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Quillan Salkilld after stopping Beneil Dariush in the co-main event, Steve Erceg following his decision win over Tim Elliott in the flyweight featured bout, along with fellow main card winners Marwan Rahiki, Brando Pericic, Louie Sutherland, and more.
