Ian Garry vs. Carlos Prates Prediction

This might be Prates' fifth UFC fight, but he has extensive experience, having fought over 100 times in Thailand. Although he's four years older, he has won the performance of the night bonus in all four of his UFC bouts.

Meanwhile, Ian Machado Garry has been tested more by some of the most elite fighters in the world in the welterweight division. Garry is very calculated and can hurt Prates with a lot of volume and good defense.

On the other hand, Pirates is one of the most dangerous strikers in the UFC right now. His striking is not the only thing that makes him dangerous. He can also use his knees and kicks to earn knockouts. Ultimately, it's likely he'll be aggressive from the start. As mentioned before, he hasn't even fought in the three-round yet.

If he's aggressive and able to land brutal shots at Garry, the fight will be over early. If Garry can defend well enough, move slowly, and be tactical, he'll likely win by decision.

Prates is very good at being the aggressor. If he can create a brawl, He will land some dangerous shots and likely end this fight early.

I'll ride with Prates at +130.
