Carlos Prates Targets Title Opportunity, Plans to Retire Within Two Years

“In two years, I’m planning to be retired from MMA,” Prates revealed. He added, “If I beat (#1-ranked) Jack Della Maddalena next, they’re gonna give me the title shot.” The 32-year-old welterweight (23-7) rebounded from his April 2025 loss to Ian Garry with two straight wins. Nicknamed “The Knockout King,” all seven of his victories in UFC came by KO.
