Carlos Prates discusses his eight-fight UFC contract and
\nretirement plans<\/h2>\n

In a recent interview, Prates addressed speculation about how much
\nhis new contract pays per fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s more [than $1 million per fight],\u201d Prates told Fighters Weekly<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m really happy. I\u2019m really
\nhappy.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then discussed how long he\u2019ll continue fighting. The 33-year-old
\nemphasized that winning UFC gold is his primary goal and that he\u2019ll
\nretire when he no longer feels the hunger to compete.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if I\u2019m going to do all eight fights,\u201d Prates added.
\n\u201cOr maybe two, or three, or one fight. I cannot say when I\u2019m gonna
\nstop fighting. Maybe I can stop tomorrow, maybe I can stop after
\nthe next fight. I don\u2019t know. I just like to live day by day, bro.
\nI want to make money and beat everybody, be a champ, and when I get
\ntired of this, I\u2019m gonna stop. I\u2019m addicted to winning; I\u2019m
\naddicted to competing. So, if I want to compete and win, I need to
\ntrain. That\u2019s why I train hard every time. When I feel like I
\ncannot compete anymore, I cannot be the number one anymore; it
\ndoesn\u2019t make sense to fight. So maybe then I can retire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prates (24-7) was hoping to challenge Islam
\nMakhachev<\/a> (29-1) for the welterweight title in January 2027,
\nbut the champion is now looking to return after Ramadan next year.
\n\u201cThe Nightmare\u201d is now scheduled to fight Michael
\nMorales<\/a> (19-0) for the interim title at UFC
\n336<\/a> on Jan. 30 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
