Rivals? Yes. Enemies? Never! The only fighter to beat Carlos Prates in the Ultimate, Ian Garry amused social media by posting a video with his son Niall McGrath, just three years old, on Saturday night (15). In it, the welterweight (up to 77,1 kg.) reenacts the Brazilian's knockout victory against Leon Edwards at UFC 322 with the participation of the little one.

While the family watched the fight between Islam Makhachev and Jack Della Maddalena , the little boy willingly agreed to play the role of Edwards, knocked down and knocked out by a powerful left hook from the Brazilian. After quickly agreeing on roles, the fighter simulated the blow and Niall went to the ground, drawing laughter from those present.

Ian Garry's son is a fan of Carlos Prates.
Always present at the Irishman's public appearances, it's common to see the boy entertain and captivate various MMA personalities, even Garry's opponents, such as Michael Page , for example. More recently, the boy was also filmed by his father stating that his favorite UFC fighter is Carlos Prates . In an exclusive interview with SUPER LUTAS, the Brazilian stated that he received the video on his social media from the Irishman himself, who is fluent in Portuguese and an athlete at Chute Boxe Diego Lima.
“He messaged me on Instagram a few months ago, with his son in the car, saying I’m his favorite fighter. We get along well. We’re far from being enemies. I’m a guy everyone likes because of my fighting style and my personality,” the Fighting Nerds star stated at the time.
