Carlos Prates is like… well, imagine a machine crossed with a nightmare. Kind of wild, right? People say he’s a bit like The Terminator when he steps into that cage. I saw one of his highlight reels once, and honestly, he fits the nickname — gave me chills.
Now, there he is, ready to take on Ian Machado Garry at UFC Kansas City. Garry isn’t just a pushover, mind you. He’s a giant killer himself, leaving contenders in the dust. Prates is hungry, though. He’s aiming for a top ten spot in the welterweight ranks. High stakes, huh?
### Carlos Prates: The Unstoppable Force
Picture this: “Muay Thai” is inked right across Prates’ chest. Sends a message, I suppose. His plan? Knock heads clear off. Simple, but Garry’s a tricky one. He’s not going to stand around taking hits.
Garry’s that smart cookie in the cage. He reads the room, you know? When he’s in over his head standing — like with Michael Page — he grapples instead. Smart play. But Prates has this insane 91% takedown defense. He’s gotta blend those martial arts, be ready for whatever trick Garry pulls.
This could be Prates’ toughest challenge yet. Garry’s strategy? Take away Prates’ strengths. If Prates can mix things up and make Garry dance to his tune, well, we might see sparks fly.
### The Legendary “Fighting Nerds”
Let’s talk “Fighting Nerds” gym. Sounds geeky, but they’re smashing it in MMA circles. Prates comes from there. Think Caio Borralho, Jean Silva, Mauricio Ruffy — names you might hear a lot soon. Built in this crucible of chaos.
They’re not exactly rewriting MMA playbooks, but you know what they say, right? Iron sharpens iron. The place is packed with champions, potential and actual, even if not all grab gold.
What Prates has, Garry doesn’t — a whole team of talent like The Fighting Nerds backing him. It’s like having an ace up your sleeve. Let’s see if Prates can make his team proud and leave a mark.
### Oh, what was I saying?
Maybe this fight changes everything. Or maybe not. Who knows? That’s the thrill, isn’t it?
