Ian Gary are you sure that Carlos Prates will not have your order fully attended in Brazil. The Fighting Nerds athlete knocked out Geoff neal No. UFC 319 and, excited, he challenged Leon edwards for UFC Rio. Although Dana White liked the idea, the Irishman guarantees that the former champion will not accept the fight.

In a video posted on Instagram, Garry sent a direct message to Prates, accusing Edwards of avoiding challenges that aren't favorable to him. According to the Irishman, the Brit always complains about facing wrestlers and asks for opponents willing to engage in stand-up combat, but even given the chance against the Brazilian, he will refuse the fight.

“Prates, there is a 0% chance of Leon edwards fight you in Brazil. He doesn't want to, he runs, he's a marathon runner. Every time he says: 'I want to stand with someone else, every time I fight with a wrestler.' Now he has the chance, but he doesn't want to fight you." Ian Gary.
