UFC Fight Night: Ian Garry vs. Carlos Prates how to watch, bout order, betting odds

The UFC begins a three-week road trip from Kansas City with a 14-fight card, headlined by a critical welterweight five-rounder between Ian Garry and Carlos Prates.

Garry (15-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) is trying to bounce back from his first MMA loss, while The Fighting Nerds product Prates is off to an unbeaten start with four KO/TKOs since making his promotional debut in February.

Garry told reporters Wednesday that Prates (21-6 MMA, 4-0 UFC) will be asking what hit him before long.

"When I win on Saturday night and I put on a show against Carlos Prates and finish him, there's no other option, I am next," Machado Garry said about his title shot chances. "You take these fights on short notice, you show up and save these cards, that means I'm next. If anyone has a problem, guess what? I love to fight. When I win that belt, you come see me in that Octagon."

Ian Garry Takes Clear Stance On Carlos Prates

Garry said although he has respect for Prates, experience is experience.

"So for me, this is a guy that I can go out there and put on full display that I'm levels, levels above him, and I'm excited to do it," Garry added.

Prates disagrees, however. The Brazilian sees glaring holes in Garry's game he is excited to exploit.

"I'm going to show him a lot of things," Prates said. "I'm going to show him who is the fighter, and I'm going to smash him. I'm going to knock him out and become really close to becoming UFC welterweight champion, really close to fighting for the title."
