Fighters react to Ian Garry beating Carlos Prates

10-9 Machado Garry

Lots of movement and never staying directly in front of Prates. The kicks are seemingly keeping Prates distracted from producing much offense thus far. #UFCKansasCity

Sanko knows what she is looking at. She relays complex dynamic situations in very simple terms.

Garry is proving there are levels to this game. He’s making it look easy against Prates through 2. #UFCKansasCity

Told you Gary’s iq was gonna win this

Ian Garry is still HIM! Fights not over yet, but Garry’s’ fight IQ is sharp tonight. Prates needs a big moment to gain some respect and momentum to get back into this fight. #UFCkanascity

3-1 Garry. Might be a tad kind to Prates but he landed a few good ones late on. Big last round. #UFCKansasCity

Prates still got gas in the tank maybe the cigarettes aren’t bad

5th round and Prates is still pushing forward…. could you imagine how much stronger/moving forward he would be if he DIDN’T SMOKE?! Either way hats off to him!!#UFCKansasCity #ufc

Carlos Prates just gave this fight away. Ian Machado Garry managed to hang on but has to be thankful that Prates didn’t put his foot on the gas in that final minute. #ufckanascity

I can’t believe Prates didn’t finish Ian Garry in the last minute!!! Unbelievable 😬 #UFCKansasCity

Prates is definitely going to need a cigarette 🚬 after that 1. Had Garry on the ropes late and didn’t push hard enough ! #ufckanascity 😂😂😂

Great fight! 🇮🇪 🇧🇷 ❤️

Prates will always go down as a fan favorite. But he’s gotta work on that fight IQ!! Had Garry hurt and open for the finish but gave him multiple opportunities just to get up and strike. Good performance by Garry tho!!#UFCKansasCity

Garry took Prates to school for 23 minutes of that fight. While Prates is certainly dangerous, there were a lot of people very confident that Prates was gonna dominate that fight. People love to look at KO’s but miss or don’t understand the importance of fundamentals like…
