By little, Carlos Prates did not become another member of the Fighting Nerds to take action in the UFC Paris, which takes place next Saturday (6). The smoker traveled to France to follow Caio Borralho and Maurício Ruffy, who are in the main fights of the event, and, during the ceremonial weigh-in, got involved in a heated argument with the team Nassourdine Imavov.

In a video released by 'Inside Fighting', Carlos Prates appears to be in an agitated argument with the Frenchman's team. In the footage, the fighter had to be restrained by security and even by coach Pablo Sucupira.
