Carlos Prates, a rising star in the UFC’s welterweight division, has called out Michael Page for a potential matchup. Known for his aggressive fighting style and impressive knockout victories, Prates is eager to test his skills against the highly ranked Page. The welterweight prospect is making a name for himself as well.
A Promising Talent
Prates has quickly made a name for himself in the UFC, showcasing his talent and potential. Earlier this August at UFC 305, Carlos Prates faced the returning Li Jingliang. ‘The Leech’ ended a yearlong layoff against the Brazilian and hoped to jump back into contention at 170 pounds. Instead, Prates completely dominated the Chinese fighter. His victory over Li Jingliang at UFC 305 further solidified his position as a contender in the division. Prates’ impressive performances have drawn attention from fans and fellow fighters alike.
After winning via stoppage just a few weeks ago, Carlos Prates is preparing to return to the octagon. The Brazilian called for a brawl with Michael Page on Instagram earlier today. Since losing to Ian Machado Garry via unanimous decision at UFC 303 in late June, “Venom” has not participated in any competitions. His first loss inside the promotion since quitting Bellator a year ago occurred during this match.
A Challenge to Michael Page and A Potential Matchup
In a recent social media post, Prates publicly challenged Michael Page to a fight, accusing him of avoiding the confrontation and saying “You must be having nightmares now!” Prates expressed his frustration with Page’s apparent reluctance to accept the matchup. A fight between Prates and Page would be a highly anticipated clash of styles. Both fighters are known for their aggressive approach and striking abilities. The matchup has the potential to be a thrilling contest for fans of the sport.
Carlos Prates’ call-out to Michael Page has generated excitement among UFC fans. While it remains to be seen if the fight will materialize, Prates’ willingness to take on a top-ranked opponent demonstrates his confidence and ambition. As Prates continues to rise through the ranks, he is poised to become a major player in the welterweight division.
