Carlos Prates, main name of the UFC Kansas City, confirmed that he is within the limit of the welterweight category (77 kg) after sharing a video on his social networks this Thursday (25). The Brazilian, who faces Ian Machado Garry in the main fight on Saturday night (26), he appeared alongside coaches and colleagues from the Fighting Nerds academy, in an atmosphere of confidence.
“We’re at the weight, family. Just wait for tomorrow’s weigh-in time,” he wrote in the post.

Since his UFC debut in February 2024, Carlos Prates has achieved the status of one of the most feared prospects in the sport. With an aggressive style and surgical precision, the “Nightmare” has defeated veterans such as Neil Magny e li jingliang, both by knockout, securing four consecutive 'Performance of the Night' awards.
The event marks the UFC's third visit to Kansas City and features 12 fights, including the veteran's farewell Anthony Smith. For Carlos Prates, this is his second time as a headliner — a rare feat for a fighter with less than two years left on his contract.
