Carlos Prates showed mirror where he wrote daily about knocking out JDM

Carlos Prates revealed a unique pre-fight ritual after returning home following his victory. He showed his bathroom mirror where he wrote messages nearly every morning about knocking out Jack Della Maddalena. The messages included affirmations like "I will knockout JDM," "I will beat JDM," and "I will become champion." Prates stated that the fight didn't begin on Saturday but rather several months ago, and what happened in the octagon was written long before. This demonstrates Prates' mental preparation and visualization techniques leading up to his successful performance.
