Prates (23-7) was recently attending a promotional Q&A session alongside flyweight champion Joshua Van ahead of UFC 325. A fan asked Prates an indecent question about his former foe Ian Garry’s wife.
“How many times do you reckon you’ve f—ed Ian Garry’s wife?” the fan asked.
Prates refused to entertain the vulgar question, warning the fan that disrespecting someone’s family can prove fatal where he comes from. Prates clarified that he and Garry have immense mutual respect even though they are fierce rivals inside the Octagon.
A Taboo Topic
“I’m the kind of guy, where I come from, you can’t say bad things about somebody’s wife and family,” Prates said. “They can literally kill you if you say something about the family. We are big rivals inside the cage, but outside of the cage, we have respect for each other.”
Prates made his UFC debut in 2024 and quickly rose to stardom with four straight finishes before suffering his only UFC loss against Garry. “The Nightmare” has since rebounded with consecutive knockout wins over Geoff Neal and Leon Edwards.
