Carlos Prates says Brazilian street upbringing sets fighters apart in trash talk culture

Carlos Prates argued that Brazilian fighters have a different relationship with personal insults than their American and Chechen counterparts, citing street-level experiences that make disrespecting family members a far more serious matter. Prates referenced Khamzat Chimaev's comments about Sean Strickland's father as an example of crossing a line he would never cross himself. He also expressed that Jailton Almeida's verbal attacks were so extreme that he himself would have reacted physically.
