This welterweight bout pitted the No.7 ranked Garry who has a 16-1-0 record against the No. 13 ranked Prates who has a 21-7-0 record currently.

Meanwhile, Prates was on a 11-fight win streak, and had knocked out all of his UFC opponents so far. Garry controlled the early rounds of the fight, however, Prates rallied back in the fourth and the fifth round, and was trying to finish Garry, but he ultimately came up short.
While the fight was close, the verdict was already decided by the time it was time to declare the winner. Garry came back into the win column with his latest win against Prates, and the welterweight looks tougher than it’s ever been before.

In the post-fight interview, Garry already had his mind set about who he wants to take on next. While most fighters plan for a single fight ahead, Garry has already thought about his next 3 fights, and here is what he said;
“You know I like plans right. You guys know I have visions in my mind… I’m gonna fight the winner, I believe it’s Belal and that’s nothing against Jack, I just believe stylistically Belal has what it takes to get this fight done… So I’m gonna fight Belal next, I’m gonna beat Belal. Belal said it many times that I’m the toughest opponent in the division for him.”
After beating Belal Muhammad, Garry wants to take on Islam Makhachev for his first title defense fight and the reason why is because, Garry wants to overtake Makhachev for the No.1 Pound-for-Pound fighter in the UFC. He sounded extremely confident about his chances against Islam, and once he’s done beating Makhachev, he wants to fight Shavkat Rakhmonov for his second title defense fight. Garry said “I’m going to go in there and dismantle that man (Rakhmonov).”
With his latest win against Carlos Prates at UFC Kansas City, and even though he just fought, Garry is already ready for the welterweight title. Belal Muhammad will take on Jack Della Maddalena on May 10th at UFC 315. The fight is just two weeks away, but Garry is ready for the belt and if something goes sideways, he will be the official replacement, which was confirmed by Dana White.
