Ian Machado Gary, the Irish fighter currently ranked seventh in the UFC welterweight division, recently took to social media to share his thoughts ahead of his upcoming fight against Brazilian Carlos Prates.
I'm going to show everybody how good I am. Carlos Prates is awesome, but this is my world. I love to fight. There is nothing in this world I love more than fighting.
It’s worth noting that this highly anticipated matchup will take place on April 27 in Kansas City, USA.
Gary last stepped into the octagon against Shavkat Rakhmonov in December 2024 at UFC 310. The fight went the full distance and ended with Ian suffering a unanimous decision loss. His professional record currently stands at 15 wins and just one defeat.
On the other hand, Prates last fought against Neil Magny in November 2024 at UFC Fight Night 247. That match was halted in the first round, resulting in a knockout victory for Carlos. His record boasts 21 wins and six losses.
