This has become a familiar pattern for fighters who suddenly find themselves without opponents due to injuries or other unforeseen circumstances. The promotion&rsquo;s ability to pivot quickly and find suitable replacements has saved many fight cards from disaster over the years.<\/p><p>Carlos Prates recently received the disappointing news that Geoff Neal had pulled out. But in true UFC fashion, the organization didn&rsquo;t leave Prates hanging for long. Instead, they have offered him something even bigger, a main event spotlight against one of the division&rsquo;s most talked-about rising stars!<\/p><p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/noche-ufc-2025-announced-possible-fights-for-this-mega-event\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Noche UFC 2025 Announced: Possible Fights For This Mega Event!<\/a><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The UFC 314 Fight Cancellation<\/h2><p>Carlos Prates was originally slated to face Geoff Neal on the stacked UFC 314 card. This would have been a huge opportunity for the Brazilian fighter to test himself against a proven UFC veteran and potentially climb the welterweight rankings. Neal, known for his devastating striking power, would have provided Prates with a measuring stick to see where he stands among the division&rsquo;s elite. Unfortunately, as happens all too often in combat sports, injuries reared their ugly head.<\/p><p>When the news broke about Neal&rsquo;s withdrawal, there were speculations about possible replacement opponents for the UFC 314 card. But Jon Anik&rsquo;s statement at UFC Mexico sealed the deal on the replacement option.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#128680;Carlos Prates won&rsquo;t be getting a replacement opponent for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFC314?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#UFC314<\/a>, but Jon Anik said some BIG news is coming soon for him! &#128064;<br><br>via: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFCMEXICO?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#UFCMEXICO<\/a> prodcast <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MQVcVe4wJ3\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/MQVcVe4wJ3<\/a><\/p>&mdash; MMA Pros Pick (@MMA_PROS_PICK_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MMA_PROS_PICK_\/status\/1906150999481364955?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>March 30, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Rather than finding Prates a new opponent for the original date, the UFC decided to capitalize on another unfortunate situation and create an exciting new main event for a different card altogether.

On April 26 at Kansas City&rsquo;s T-Mobile Center, &lsquo;The Nightmare&rsquo; will now face Irish sensation Ian Machado Garry in a five-round welterweight showdown. This announcement, made official by the UFC recently represents a massive opportunity for the surging Brazilian. Instead of fighting on the undercard of UFC 314, he will now headline his own event against a fighter with significant name recognition and just one loss on his UFC record.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEW MAIN EVENT ALERT &#128680;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iangarryMMA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@IanGarryMMA<\/a> vs Carlos Prates will headline <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFCKansasCity?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#UFCKansasCity<\/a>! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zjdlQbHWiQ\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/zjdlQbHWiQ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; UFC (@ufc) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ufc\/status\/1907205406436520321?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>April 1, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Machado Garry has become one of the division&rsquo;s most polarizing figures. His combination of striking skills, charisma, and marketability has fast-tracked him toward the upper echelon of the welterweight division. For Prates, this matchup represents both a significant challenge and a golden opportunity. A win over #7 Machado Garry would instantly catapult him into the top 10 rankings. The five-round format also gives both fighters ample time to showcase their skills and cardio in what promises to be an exciting striking battle. Sometimes in the fight game, what initially seems like a setback can turn into the biggest break of your career. And for Carlos Prates, the cancellation of his UFC 314 fight might just have been the best thing that could have happened!<\/p><p><strong>(Image Credit: thenightmare_170 &ndash; Instagram)<\/strong><br><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlos Prates gets a high ranked opponent days after his fight against Geoff Neal at UFC 314 was cancelled!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":35679,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[1783],"tags":[1967,5253,5359],"class_list":["post-35677","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mma","tag-carlos-prates","tag-geoff-neal","tag-ian-garry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Carlos Prates Gets High Level Opponent Days After UFC 314 Fight Cancellation!
