Ian Garry did not hide his satisfaction when commenting on Carlos Prates ' victory at UFC 322, held last Saturday (15). The Irishman, who defeated the Fighting Nerds star in April 2025, maintains a kind of healthy rivalry with the Brazilian, unlike the tense relationship he cultivates with Leon Edwards , brutally knocked out by the smoker.
During UFC Qatar media day, Ian Garry expressed his happiness and adopted a provocative tone, stating that seeing Leon Edwards ' head "bouncing on the mat" was, for him, a Christmas present. The Irishman took a jab at the Brazilian by adding that he intends to call "his son," Carlos Prates , to thank him for the feat.
