Carlos Prates and Ian Garry envision title fight plan after respective victories

Carlos Prates revealed that he and Ian Garry have discussed a plan to eventually meet in a title fight. According to Prates, the plan involves him defeating Maddalena and Garry beating Makhachev, after which they would fight for the belt in Brazil. Prates stated that Garry called him approximately three weeks ago to discuss this scenario. He believes the UFC would make the fight happen and suggested it could be a rematch if Garry wins the championship. The plan is highly speculative and depends on both fighters winning their next bouts against different opponents. Neither fighter currently holds a UFC title, making this more of an aspirational roadmap than a confirmed booking.
