Carlos Prates was met with enthusiastic support from fans at an open training session in Perth, Australia, ahead of his upcoming fight. Despite fighting in what could be considered hostile territory for the Brazilian, the crowd welcomed him warmly and cheered continuously throughout the session. The reception challenges the notion that Prates will face a purely hostile environment in Australia. Photos from the event captured by CrashMMA documented the supportive atmosphere. The strong fan support in Perth suggests Prates may have more backing than initially expected for his welterweight bout.
