Carlos Prates Says Fighters from Brazil Have Street Experience Others Lack

Carlos Prates argued in a podcast interview that Brazilian fighters carry a different kind of life experience compared to their American and Caucasian counterparts, citing the culture around personal respect on the street. He was particularly critical of trash talk targeting fighters' family members, pointing to exchanges involving Khamzat Chimaev, Sean Strickland, and Colby Covington as examples of lines he believes cross a line. Prates said he would have reacted physically had such comments been directed at him.
