Ian Machado Garry doesn’t think Carlos Prates will dig deep if the going gets tough.
Garry is set to headline UFC Kansas City on April 26 against Prates in an intriguing welterweight scrap. Heading into the fight, Garry believes that if he can bring Prates into a dog fight, he will quit as that is who he is as a fighter.
Ian Garry watches old footage of Carlos Prates and calls him a ‘quitter’ 😬
“This is a video of Carlos Prates and his true fighting spirit, called being a quitter…
He knows that deep down he’s not a fighter.”

“This is a video of Carlos Prates and his true fighting spirit, called being a quitter. He had just been beaten up all the rounds prior, put his hands up shakes his hands, says I’m done. And then just drops to the ground in absolute despair. He knows that deep down he’s not a fighter,” Garry said.
Although Garry thinks Prates is a quitter, the video he is looking at was from years ago, before he was in the UFC. That fight was his last stoppage loss in 2017, as he got finished by strikes after he retreated, which Garry thinks is due to him being a quitter.
