UFC Perth: Carlos Prates Feels Beating Second Straight Champ Would Secure Title Shot
""I'm surprised, because they say 'I hope you win.' When the octagon doors close, it's just me and Jack. But let's see.""
""I will knock him out. As to what round, it's a surprise. I train a lot. Sometimes I train two, three times per day.""
""Yeah. I think after I beat two former champs in a row, I think nobody did it, so I'm gonna be the next [title challenger].""
Carlos Prates faces Jack Della Maddalena in the UFC Perth welterweight main event. Surprised by the positive reception in Perth, Prates feels supported despite being in enemy territory. Known for his knockout power, he predicts a knockout but keeps the round a surprise. Prates trains intensively, preparing for the fight's duration. A victory over Della Maddalena would follow wins against Geoff Neal and Leon Edwards, positioning him for a title shot as he aims to be the next challenger.
