A significant seat upgrade in the Ultimate Fighting Championship pecking order could await either Ian Garry or Carlos Prates.
The welterweight hopefuls will lock horns in the UFC on ESPN 66 main event this Saturday at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri. Their encounter arrives at a time when both men appear to be in position to vault into contention at 170 pounds in the not-too-distant future. Garry has compiled an outstanding 8-1 record across his nine appearances inside the Octagon. However, the 27-year-old Irishman finds himself on the rebound for the first time as a professional, having lost a unanimous decision to the unbeaten Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310 on Dec.
