Carlos Prates' nickname 'The Nightmare' has an unexpected origin story unrelated to his fighting style. In the 2000s, a popular Brazilian children's show called 'Sítio do Picapau Amarelo' (Yellow Woodpecker Farm) featured a character named Pesadelo, which translates to 'Nightmare.' Friends believed Prates resembled this character and nicknamed him accordingly, though the author of the post notes seeing no resemblance. The nickname later transitioned perfectly into his fighting career persona. Prates is currently on an upward trajectory in his UFC career, making his backstory more relevant to fans.
