In preparation to star in the UFC Kansas City, on April 26, against Carlos Prates, Ian Machado Garry does not hesitate to adopt the role of villain in the confrontation. Determined to frequently provoke the Brazilian, this time the Irish prospect brought back an old defeat suffered by the 'Nightmare' and mocked the moment when the athlete asked to stop the fight.

“Did you see this? This is a video of Carlos Prates and his true fighting spirit called quitter. He was getting beat, every round. He put his hands up, shook his head saying he was finished and then threw himself on the ground in absolute despair, because he knows, deep down, that he is not a fighter,” he posted.

At the time, in 2017, Prates had been scheduled to face Mikhail Romanchuk at Chin Woo Men, a Chinese event held in Guangdong. In the first round, the Brazilian appeared to feel discomfort in the area near his shoulder and ended up asking for the fight to be stopped, as he was unable to continue active in the fight. The episode marked the fighter's fifth loss in his professional MMA career.
