Carlos Prates was greeted enthusiastically by fans at an open workout in Perth, Australia. The Brazilian welterweight received continuous support from the crowd throughout the session, challenging the notion that he would be fighting on hostile territory. Fans did not stop cheering for Prates during the entire open training session. This suggests the visiting fighter has significant support in Australia despite facing a local opponent. The positive reception indicates Prates may not face the typical away-fighter disadvantage.
