Carlos Prates revealed a plan discussed with Ian Garry approximately three weeks ago. According to Prates, the scenario involves him defeating Maddalena while Garry defeats Makhachev, after which they would fight each other in Brazil. Prates believes the UFC would make this matchup happen. If Garry wins the belt, Prates suggested it would be a rematch between them. The plan remains speculative and depends on both fighters winning their respective upcoming bouts.
