Carlos Prates Says Brazilians Have Street Experience That Fighters Like Chimaev Lack

Carlos Prates argued that Brazilian fighters carry a toughness born from street life that he believes fighters like Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland simply do not have. Prates said that in Brazil, disrespecting someone's mother or wife can have fatal consequences, giving fighters there a different mentality going into a fight. He also commented on trash talk incidents involving Chimaev, Strickland, and Colby Covington, saying he would never cross certain personal lines himself.
