UFC Vegas 100 goes down at the Apex this Saturday and the matchmaking for its main event has laid a golden opportunity at the feet of Brazilian welterweight Carlos Prates.
“The Nightmare” has been rewarded for his scintillating introduction to life inside the Octagon by being paired with Neil Magny in a five-round fight and with Magny perched on the number 15 spot in the welterweight rankings, the reward that awaits Prates should he successfully navigate this challenge is abundantly clear.
Prates’ first introduction to UFC fans came via an impressive walk-off KO finish over Mitch Ramirez on Dana White’s Contender Series in August 2023.
