Quick read
Carlos Prates says he expects Ian Garry to win but would be prepared to fight Islam Makhachev if called upon. Prates dismissed concerns about his grappling after being taken down by Jack Della Maddalena in the first round, noting he is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt. The Brazilian welterweight indicated he is not afraid of takedowns. Some observers suggest Prates would prefer facing Garry for the title as an easier path. However, Prates expressed confidence in his ability to compete at the highest level regardless of opponent.
