Carlos Prates has a chilling promise for Islam Makhachev
Carlos Prates is high in confidence following Islam Makhachev’s latest title defense.
Brazilian fighter Carlos Prates voiced an intimidating statement about his upcoming bout with UFC welterweight champion Islam Makhachev. The Brazilian fighter, who was in attendance at the UFC 330 main event, expressed his confidence in decimating Makhachev during their upcoming fight. Prates was particularly excited after watching Makhachev weather Ian Garry's onslaught at the event, ultimately prevailing by unanimous decision.
Despite facing multiple takedowns and submission attempts from Garry, Makhachev managed to secure the win through a dominant final round. Prates made it clear he aims to bring the championship back to Brazil, declaring himself the first Brazilian welterweight champion. Furthermore, Prates went on to challenge fellow welterweight contender Michael Morales for the title, with plans to fight Morales in April following a potential win against Makhachev in December.
