Ian Garry Player Overview
The Irish athlete combines boxing skills with a strong judo foundation, holding a black belt in the discipline. He began his professional career relatively recently in 2019, but has already made a significant impact. Within just two years, Ian became the champion of a renowned promotion, Cage Warriors, before transitioning to the UFC.
In the world's premier league, he maintained his momentum, securing five victories in a short span and proving that he can compete at the highest level. Tough opponents like Geoff Neal and Neil Magny were unable to halt the Irishman's progress. In June last year, he confidently defeated former Bellator star Michael Page. However, in his most recent bout, Garry lost his undefeated record, falling to the second-ranked welterweight Shavkat Rakhmonov. Currently, he boasts 15 wins with a single loss on his record.

Carlos Prates Player Overview
The Brazilian fighter is a representative of a striking style rooted in boxing and Muay Thai. He began his professional MMA journey back in 2012, and despite a modest start, gradually evolved into a dangerous and technical fighter. Reaching a record of 10-6, Carlos entered a new phase in his career-his progress became evident, and he captured the championship belt in a local promotion.
Thanks to this achievement, Prates got the opportunity to showcase his skills in the well-known LFA, which he seized. Subsequently, the Brazilian was invited to the Contender Series, where he earned a UFC contract with a spectacular knockout. In Dana White's organization, Prates has secured 4 victories, all by knockout. His current record stands at 21 wins and six losses.

Editorial Prediction
Both athletes have a strong sense of distance, allowing them to effectively manage their stand-up game. However, unlike the Brazilian, Garry possesses excellent ground skills, which we believe will be the key to the Irishman's victory. If Ian encounters difficulties while standing, he will undoubtedly take the fight to the canvas, as he did against Michael Page. Following this logic, we suggest betting on the more versatile Irishman to win.
