"A lot of idols fought here: Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson. It's going to be a huge honor for me, fighting in Madison Square Garden,"
"I think it's because of the entertainment I bring to the people. My fight style,"
"I think Leon's gonna be a grappler also. He's really good, but also, he's good to keep the fight [in a] boring way,"
"To be honest, I think if I finish the fight with a really good knockout, I'm gonna be next for the title,"
Carlos Prates (22-7) will face former welterweight champion Leon 'Rocky' Edwards at Madison Square Garden and regards the venue as a huge honor, citing icons like Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. Prates credits UFC promotional support to the entertainment value of his fighting style. He expects Edwards to rely on grappling and basic, effective techniques and plans to prepare accordingly. Coming off a win over Geoff Neal and a prior loss to Ian Machado Garry, Prates believes a decisive knockout would position him for a title shot despite other contenders such as Kamaru Usman.
