How to Watch UFC Fight Night: Ian Garry vs. Carlos Prates: Stream UFC Live, TV Channel

Rising phenomenon Carlos Prates will put his unbeaten UFC record on the line against Ian Garry on Saturday. Watch free on Fubo.

Irish instigator Ian Garry and South American stud Carlos Prates will collide on Saturday in what promises to be a straight shootout for a shot at Belal Muhammad’s UFC welterweight title. Garry, 27, was once the poster child at 170lbs but found his trajectory to the belt impeded after suffering a career-first defeat to Shavkat Rakhmonov in December, though the Kazakh star has been thus far unable to cash in his own title shot due to injury. Either 15-1 Garry or 21-6 Prates could hop in front of him for their ticket to welterweight gold, however, as the two go to war in a stylistic slobber-knocker.

Knockout artist Prates has stopped every challenge put in front of him to date in the UFC, putting together four successive knockout wins and having yet to go past the second round in any of those.

‘The Nightmare’ has developed a cult-like following at the top level of MMA for his party boy methods, even admitting he doesn’t quit smoking at any point during his camps.

The Brazilian at least gives up drinking to some extent towards the business end of his prep, and he’ll need to be in optimal shape if he’s to get the better of a decision machine like Garry:

In direct contrast to Prates, Garry has been to the final bell in each of his last four straight fights, collecting just three finishes from his nine outings in the UFC to date.

Veteran Neil Magny is perhaps the closest Prates has come to mirroring Garry’s style in an opponent, and he dispatched the American with a vicious first-round KO when they met in November.

Garry dominated Magny himself but still had to go the full 15 minutes when they clashed in August 2023, and the question now is whether he can avoid Prates’ striking assets long enough to assert some control of his own.
