Quick read
Carlos Prates argued in a recent interview that Brazilian fighters carry a life experience forged by street culture that fighters from Dagestan or the United States simply do not share. He cited Khamzat Chimaev's verbal attack on Sean Strickland's father and comments made during the Chimaev-Strickland rivalry as examples of trash talk crossing lines that would have serious consequences in Brazil. Prates also referenced Colby Covington's remarks about Ian Garry's wife as further evidence of a cultural disconnect around respect.
