Quick read
Carlos Prates stated he expects Ian Garry to win but is ready to face Islam Makhachev if called upon. Responding to doubts about his ground game after Jack Della Maddalena took him down in the first round, Prates emphasized that he is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and does not fear takedowns. The post notes that Prates likely hopes for a Garry matchup as it would be an easier path to the title. Prates is coming off a stunning knockout victory over Della Maddalena, positioning himself as a top contender in the welterweight division.
