Carlos Prates Says Brazilians Have Tougher Street Code Than American and Caucasian Fighters

Carlos Prates argued in a podcast interview that Brazilian fighters operate by a stricter code of conduct rooted in street experience, contrasting it with what he sees as a lack of real-world consequences for fighters like Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland. He specifically criticized Chimaev for bringing up Strickland's abusive father during their rivalry, calling that kind of trash talk off-limits. Prates also referenced remarks made by Colby Covington about Ian Garry's wife, saying he had witnessed people killed over far less in Brazil.
