Editor's Opinion

Damn, this Prates is the kind of guy who makes you think of a Jurassic Park villain busting out of his cage screaming, "I will reign over the Octagon, a kingdom of pain," and you know what? He’s right, but in a way cooler way. Seven straight KOs, Performance of the Night bonuses left and right, and charisma for days. The problem? Makhachev and Garry are two titans who know how to play Batman to his budding Joker. His style? Explosive, sure, but let’s not confuse "spectacular" with "predictable." If Prates really wants to make history, he’s gonna have to pull out all the stops against Makhachev, because right now, it’s like a Disney villain underestimating a real hero. But hey, if you love fights that end in 30 seconds with a clean KO, you’re gonna love this. And let’s be honest, a nickname like "The Nightmare" is way cooler than "The Machine" or "The Tank." Stay tuned, but don’t get ahead of yourself before the fight.
