Ian Garry recently asked his 3-year-old son to name his favorite fighter. Leandro named his father’s former opponent, Carlos Prates.

“Imagine beating a man up for 23 and a half minutes and then leaving the fight. And your son’s favorite fighter is the other guy,” Garry responded in jest.
Garry and Prates headlined UFC Kansas City this past April. While Garry didn’t land much damage, he controlled Prates for most of the five rounds to earn a unanimous decision win. “The Nightmare” had barely anything to offer outside of a late flurry in the final minute that had Garry on his heels.
Garry, Prates Have Pivotal Upcoming Fights
The win saw Garry (16-1) bounce back from his lone professional loss against Shavkat Rakhmonov. “The Future” is now scheduled to face former welterweight champ Belal Muhammad (24-4) in the co-main event at UFC Qatar at the ABHA Arena in Doha on Nov. 22.
Meanwhile, Prates (22-7) had finished all four of his UFC opponents before losing to Garry. The Brazilian has since rebounded with a highlight-reel knockout win over Geoff Neal at UFC 319 this past August. Prates is scheduled to face former champ Leon Edwards (22-5) at UFC 322 on Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York.
