Prates and Garry plan future title fight if both win next bouts

Carlos Prates revealed that he and Ian Garry have discussed a plan for a potential title fight between them. According to Prates, the scenario involves him defeating Maddalena while Garry beats Islam Makhachev for the lightweight championship, after which they would meet in Brazil for a championship bout. Prates mentioned that Garry called him about three weeks ago to discuss this plan. He believes the UFC would make the fight happen if Garry captures the belt, setting up a rematch between the two. The plan is highly speculative and depends on both fighters winning their upcoming contests and Garry successfully challenging for the title.
