Media C. Prates says Garry can thank him for the first main event

[Unheralded Truth]

“I’ve been with the company for 1 year,” Prates told MMA Hoje.

“Now my second main event, and 4 knockout bonuses… While this kid’s been in the UFC for 4 years and hasn’t won a single bonus
in his whole life. It's a bunch of decisions, boring ass fights,” Prates said of Garry.

“If he’s fighting in the main event at this moment, it’s all because I chose him. And I said I wanted to fight him.”

Prates continues with saying that Garry will make more money on this short-notice opportunity, than he's been able to cash in on his own:

“You’ll make some money there. After he wakes up, he’ll have to say: ‘Thank you Carlos Prates, you made me make good money…’

“You will go out with defeat but for once with a full pocket” Prates added.

Big words from Prates, but if he loses against a “boring guy who never headlines”, who took the fight on short notice and is risking his position in doing so… it will look bad afterwards.

Garry likely tries to wrestle, which leaves him out of a main event following this as well.

Those are some tired old lines, did he find them in an old Facebook interview from Conor? First Ilia now the Brazilians?

Losing looks bad? No way.

Conor changed their bum lives with his trash talk

 

[Ares Black]

Losing looks bad? No way.

Not always

 

[Nobru]

Imho this will be close to bryce x jean silva, except prates is a cold killer and jean is a crazy killer

I expect garry to sleep

 

[World eater]

Losing looks bad? No way.

Losing is fine. Talking big before losing, not so great. Strickland-like. Colbyesque.

 

[USA!USA!]

I'm sick of these guys talking, I just want to watch the fight. Should be great.

Well according to Chael they don't have computers in Brazil, so you have to assume they're several decades behind

Fighting Nerds are all trying a little bit too hard to suck on Conor, not working that much for half the Brazilian public.

Guy headlines 1 Apex card and thinks he's hot shit compared to the guy who spent his 4 last events on the main card of PPV's, including the last one where he co-mained.

Also Garry does have a POTN bonus, so I got no clue what the fuck this guy is on about

 

[Mammothman]

This Ian Garry kid will get hurt very bad by Prates, it won't be funny.

Garry had that bonus 2 years ago, since then nothing but boring decisions, Garry is not a fun fighter and have zero hype due to his boring fights.

Prates is on a 10 fight finishing streak and will add Garry to that list.

Ian Garry is 27 years old and he is better than anyone Prates has ever fought.

Prates is on a 10 fight finishing streak

Against who?

and will add Garry to that list.

Maybe. Don't be surprised if Garry makes him look average.

then why did you click on the thread to see what they said

Check the tape

"While this kid’s been in the UFC for 4 years and hasn’t won a single bonus in his whole life."

Point is, the kid is very exciting, but his spot on cards is still below Garry's because of Garry's merit. The fact that Prates just beat Magny and was originally scheduled to fight Neal is interesting, since that schedule puts him 2 fights behind Garry who did that same combo already, so you can easily say he should be thanking Ian for the opportunity since he's getting a bump

It's kind of true with Garry, with the exception of opponents that he outclasses by a mile, he fights to barely squeak by. Against Shavkat it seriously seems like he fought just to survive and was happy with his performance because he went the distance....he talks this huge game but the fact that he seemed so proud just to survive against Shavkat doesn't seem to back up the way he talks about himself.

He wasn't able to finish Magny despite being in a totally different class than him a this point, because Magny has declined very significantly and all the other high level fighters have been finishing him the past few years (Shavkat, Burns, Prates). He did no significant damage to Neal or MVP. Two of the most lackluster lame decision victories in MMA history, and then he's talking about how he's going to blow people's minds with amazing dominance against Prates and we're supposed to believe that....

It's nice that he's fighting someone like Prates that hopefully forces him to fight. Hopefully Prates has decent enough counter grappling to force Garry to engage....
