Main Event Breakdown

Prates stormed forward in round five, rocking Garry with a right hook and forcing a frantic clinch, but the comeback fell short on the cards. Total strikes: Garry 141-259, Prates 64-132; knockdowns: 0-0; control: 3:09 vs 1:46. Judges went 49-46 and 48-47 twice, rewarding Garry’s early volume and mat time(ESPN.com).

Fighter Reactions

“I stayed calm in chaos—championship mentality, baby,” Garry told Daniel Cormier in the Octagon, pointing to coach Diego Lima for the game plan(MMAmania.com). Backstage, Prates laughed: “I should’ve emptied the tank sooner, but he was slick; respect.”(Forbes) Lima revealed training juggled Kansas City and a potential quick cut to 170 lbs as backup for the UFC 315 title fight: “We prepared for two opponents in two weeks; nothing scares Ian.”

Impact on the Welterweight Division

With the victory Garry jumps to 8-1 inside the UFC and moves to fourth in our unofficial rankings—behind champion Belal Muhammad, Shavkat Rakhmonov, and Leon Edwards (MMA News wrap-up: UFC Kansas City fallout, Dricus du Plessis silences the trolls, more). If Muhammad or Jack Della Maddalena withdraw from UFC 315, Garry now slots in; otherwise expect a title-eliminator versus Gilbert Burns or Colby Covington later in 2025(MMAmania.com). His strike differential (+63 significant) and improved takedown defense (stuffed 0-of-0 but reversed clinches) show he can handle five-round pace—silencing claims he only wins short bouts(MMAmania.com).
