Quick read
Carlos Prates and Ian Garry have discussed a plan where they would eventually meet in a title fight. According to Prates, Garry called him approximately three weeks ago to outline the scenario: Prates would defeat Maddalena, Garry would beat Makhachev, and then the two would fight in Brazil. Prates believes the UFC would make this matchup happen, and if Garry wins the belt, it would set up a rematch between them. The plan hinges on multiple conditional victories and represents aspirational thinking rather than confirmed bookings. Details about Islam Makhachev's involvement or whether this refers to a different fighter were not clarified in the limited information provided.
