Quick read
Carlos Prates has stated he expects Ian Garry to win his upcoming fight, but claims he would be prepared to face Islam Makhachev if called upon. Addressing potential criticism about being taken down by Jack Della Maddalena in the first round, Prates emphasized that he is not afraid of takedowns because he holds a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The post suggests that regardless of his confidence, facing Garry for the title would likely be an easier path than facing Makhachev. Prates is positioning himself as a willing challenger at the top of the welterweight division.
