Carlos Prates weighed in on Ian Machado Garry’s UFC Qatar win over Belal Muhammad, calling it impressive but not exactly fan-pleasing.
Prates believes fans want to see him fight newly minted welterweight champion Islam Makhachev. Makhachev most recently dethroned Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 322. On the same night, Prates also knocked out former champion Leon Edwards. ‘The Nightmare,’ who is currently the number six-ranked 170-pounder, is now riding a two-fight win streak, with both wins coming via knockout.
He recently appeared in an interview with Ariel Helwani and talked about his former opponent Ian Machado Garry’s UFC Qatar performance.
