Carlos Prates says Brazilians have street experience Chimaev and Strickland lack

Carlos Prates argued that Brazilian fighters carry a tougher street upbringing that fighters like Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland do not share. Prates took particular issue with trash talk that targets opponents' family members, calling out remarks Chimaev directed at Strickland about his father and comments made toward Michel Pereira. He said that in Brazil, disrespecting someone's mother or wife can be a fatal mistake, and that he would have thrown a chair at anyone who spoke to him that way.
