Carlos Prates and Ian Garry plan championship fight meeting in Brazil

Carlos Prates and Ian Garry have discussed a plan for a future title fight between them. According to Prates, Garry called him about three weeks ago to outline the scenario: Prates would defeat Maddalena, Garry would beat Makhachev, and then they would face each other in Brazil. Prates believes the UFC would make the fight happen, particularly if Garry wins the championship belt, which would set up a rematch between them. The plan appears contingent on both fighters winning their upcoming bouts and Garry capturing UFC gold.
