"I will knock JDM out. If we talk about media, I have a lot of media presence. A lot of people like me, and I have a lot of fans. There's talk about whether I deserve it or not. I think I deserve it. Of course, I will knock JDM out, and then I will have knocked out two former champions. So who deserves it more than me?"
Carlos Prates is scheduled to face Jack Della Maddalena in the main event at UFC Perth on May 2, with the Brazilian fighter confident in securing a knockout victory. Prates believes a win over Maddalena will earn him an undeniable welterweight title shot, as it would give him knockout victories over two former welterweight champions. Currently, Prates has finished all six of his UFC wins and recently defeated former champion Leon Edwards. The welterweight division features other contenders like Michael Morales and Ian Garry. Maddalena previously held the title against Belal Muhammad but lost his first title defense to Islam Makhachev.
