There isn’t enough clarity about what “The Notorious” meant. He could be referring to former champBelal Muhammad, whose nickname is “Remember the Name,” or the 37-year-old might be talking about facing any other ranked 170-pounder at the White House event, for which he has been gearing up.
Last week, the Irishman also claimedthat he had been given a date and an opponent for his return. He said he has accepted the fight and is now waiting for the contract.
Earlier this year, during a Roblox stream, “The Notorious” had stated that his previous contract was based around PPV points. However, with the company’s new broadcast deal with Paramount, the pay-per-view model is eliminated in most regions, so he would need to sign a fresh contract before his comeback.
Now, rumors are circulating that a potential matchup between Carlos Prates and Conor McGregor is in the works.“The Nightmare” is currently riding a two-fight win streak, with both victories coming by knockout against notable opponents.
Prates also recently called out an opponent for not signing the contract to fight him. Although he did not name the opponent, the timing of the post coincides with recent posts by Conor McGregor.
