Why Carlos Prates stands out to Alex Pereira<\/h2>\n

Prates (24-7), who has finished all seven of his UFC victories,
\nwill face Michael
\nMorales<\/a> (19-0) for the interim welterweight title at UFC
\n336<\/a> on Jan. 30, 2027, at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. Pereira
\nexplained why the welterweight contender is his favorite countryman
\nto watch.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like Prates, Ruffy, Charles, and Jean Silva\u2014all those guys,\u201d
\nPereira said on the \u201cConnect Cast\u201d podcast. \u201cThe first one I really
\nenjoy watching… I mean, I like knockouts, you know? Prates, in
\nparticular\u2014he\u2019s the man! I don\u2019t really watch many fights, but if
\nPrates is fighting, the only way I wouldn\u2019t watch is if I were
\notherwise occupied.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pereira said Prates ranks behind only him among the UFC\u2019s
\nhighest-paid Brazilians. He hopes their success can inspire
\nprospects from their country to dream big.<\/p>\n

\ntitle bid against Ciryl Gane<\/a>
