Carlos Prates believes Islam Makhachev’s win streak will be halted by Ian Garry
While Makhachev is a -330 favorite, Garry’s style poses a legitimate threat to the Dagestani champion’s historic win streak. Prates predicts an upset win for Garry. “The Nightmare” believes the former Cage Warriors champion will defeat Makhachev via decision.
“UFC 330, Ian Garry is gonna beat Islam Makhachev by decision,” Prates said in a recent interview while in attendance at UFC Vegas 120. “I don’t know unanimous decision or split decision. But it’s going to be a decision.”
Prates (24-7) lost to Garry last year in a tightly contested five-round bout. The Brazilian has since bounced back with knockout wins over veteran Geoff Neal and former champs Leon Edwards and Jack Della Maddalena.
