Carlos Prates Reflects On His First UFC Main Event
Carlos Prates is the real deal.
Prates KOs Magny
Carlos Prates vs. Neil Magny headlined UFC Vegas 100 in the UFC Apex. The 100th UFC Apex Card started and ended off with a bang. Including prelims, there were 7 finishes heading into the main event and Carlos made it eight after he knocked out Neil Magny in one round, making him face-plant on the canvas.
Following the event, Carlos Prates joined the post-show press conference and reflected on his win. He was first asked the game-plan heading into the fight with Magny, and he revealed it’s the same as usual.
Yeah, every fight you’re going to see me doing the same game-plan. Defend takedown and try to knock my opponent out.
He went on to reflect on his first main event and the journey that led him to this moment.
Bro, it’s like a dream! Like, a few years ago, not a few years ago, I think two years ago or one year and a half, I was fighting for maybe $200, you know? Now I’m doing it for a lot of money and it’s a dream. I work hard for this, for many years and I’m really happy. But, it’s still like a dream.
For the big finish, Prates was awarded a $50,000 bonus.
