Carlos Prates and Ian Garry plan title fight scenario after upcoming bouts

Carlos Prates and Ian Garry have discussed a plan that would see them meet in a title fight. According to Prates, Garry called him about three weeks ago with the scenario: Prates would defeat Joaquin Buckley, Garry would beat Islam Makhachev, and then they would fight for the title in Brazil. Prates believes the UFC would make the fight happen, and if Garry wins the belt, they would have a rematch. The plan is speculative and depends on both fighters winning their respective upcoming bouts.
