Carlos Prates, preparing to headline at UFC on ESPN 66 against Ian Garry, discussed his readiness for the match following a change in opponents. He trains for five rounds regardless of fight length and has enlisted BJJ master Vagner Motta for support. Prates is focused on ensuring he weighs in comfortably, having worked with a nutritionist to manage his weight effectively. He is studying Garry's fights, specifically against southpaw fighters, to inform his strategy, anticipating a tough match but confident in his approach and capability to secure a future title shot.
"My main focus is no secret, keep the fight standing. It will be a war until one of us imposes his game, and I'm sure it will be me."
"Since my last fight I started to work with my nutritionist to gain weight and get stronger in the division. I started this camp weighing 90 kilograms, but I'm already weighing 82 kilograms."
