Media Ian Garry says Carlos Prates is a "QUITTER", Prates responds

[Dorkman]

If that's the tko by retirement fight on his record, thats a 12 year old fight when carlos was 19. Bare minimum the fight is 8 years old. Lot can change in that time Ian. Du Bronx used to be a quitter too.

Sherdog says Ian Machado's a "CUCK."

 

[Cameron]

One thing I will say to this point, we haven't seen him tested in the UFC. He very well could be the guy who is good at being the hammer but can't be the nail. Not sure Ian is the guy to make that happen.

 

[joy2day]

Despite whatever cuckold traits Sherdog may have attributed to him, Ian has shown himself to be a pretty good fighter; he gave Shavkat all he could handle.

I like this fight as a way to vet just how good both of these guys are. If Prates smashes him, he may be moving into the elite.

Hasn't quit smoking even though he's in combat sports! That's some kind of perseverance.

lol mother fucker I was about to post this.

Machado with the mental warfare
Prates about to be smoking 2 packs per day

No wonder Prates has to cope by worshipping demons and doing that stupid ass snarl during staredowns.

Both are true, he has cucktributes and is also a very good fighter. I agree with your assessment that it tells us a lot about where both are.

I'll also give Gary this: he takes tough fights. No one else is taking on Shavkat into Prates in the division.

Prates is no quitter, he still smokes.

I am pulling for Garry here…Prates has an odd presence about him and he is no Anderson despite how hard they try to Hype him.

Fight Dorks will be 155-1 after this fight.

Kayan Kruvsdufhsdfiohsasdvsky already gave them a loss. Two actually.

That’s not a Brazilian last name.

If it’s not:
Borralho
Prates
Ruffy
Silva
Then it isn’t an official Nerd just a fighter that started coming to study hall!

I don't like or dig Ian as a person very much, but I respect him as a fighter, and do think he's a decent person as well. lol Regardless, I pretty much always root against him

 

[Snake Fist]

Garry is a rangy hard to hit fighter, Prates is gonna struggle with connecting clean, and with the 5 rounds if it goes that far.

Great fight, and props to Garry for accepting.

 

[TRYHARD 2001]

Ian Garry is another example of a fighter who turned out to be so much better than I thought he was when he was starting out. He just didn't seem that good when he was starting out, nearly got sparked by a middling Chinese fighter, had a weird stance that sorta looked like Machida lite, and definitely came across as just... weird. Fast forward to today and I definitely have him in the Top 5 and I think he takes Prates with a combo of grappling and point fighting.

Prates is dangerous for sure, but I just think Garry's got more options and has proven he can handle the role as nail as well as he can the hammer.

He ain't Conor McG on the mic or in his personal life, but the guy can most certainly fight.

This matchup was mentioned and Ian may be building some hype for it. I wonder if his team believes Prates is a good matchup for Ian to bounce back after Shakvat.

Im afraid they might be surprised if this happens. Prates by TKO R2.

Its the main event for next weekend after Hill/Rountree fell through.
