Carlos Prates' manager has claimed that the UFC is "a little upset" with lightweight champion Islam Makhachev following his withdrawal from UFC 336, according to a report by Guilherme Cruz for SB Nation.
The manager's comments suggest tension between the promotion and Makhachev after the fighter pulled out of the scheduled event. Details regarding the reason for Makhachev's withdrawal and the UFC's response were not immediately disclosed.
UFC 336 was expected to take place on November 5, 2026, but the card has been affected by the withdrawal. Neither the UFC nor Makhachev's team have officially commented on the manager's assertion.
