UFC Kansas City: ‘Garry vs. Prates’ Live Results and Highlights
The Octagon returns to Missouri for tonight’s UFC Kansas City event, a 13-bout fight card headlined by Ian Machado Garry vs. Carlos Prates.
Garry (15-1 MMA) will be returning to action for the first time since suffering his first career loss to Shavkat Rakhmonov at this past December’s UFC 310 event. Prior to that setback, ‘The Future’ had gone a perfect 8-0 inside of the Octagon, earning wins over Michael Page, Geoff Neal and Neil Magny during that stretch.
Meanwhile, Carlos Prates (21-6 MMA) will enter tonight’s headliner sporting an eleven-fight winning streak, his most recent being a knockout victory over Neil Magny this past November. ‘The Nightmare’ has earned all nine of his most recent victories by way of KO / TKO, with four of those finishes coming under the UFC banner.
UFC Kansas City is co-headlined by a light heavyweight bout between former title challenger Anthony Smith and Zhang Mingyang.
Smith (38-21 MMA) will be competing for the final time this evening in Missouri. ‘Lionheart’ will enter his retirement fight with hopes of snapping a two-fight losing skid. The 36-year-old was most recently knocked out by Dominick Reyes at UFC 310, which was preceded by a unanimous decision loss to Roman Dolidze in June of last year.
Meanwhile, Mingyang (18-6 MMA) currently boasts an eleven-fight winning streak, with his two most recent victories coming inside of the Octagon. The Chinese standout was most previously seen in action this past November, where he scored a first-round knockout victory over Ozzy Diaz.
Also featured on tonight’s UFC Kansas City main card is a sure to be exciting middleweight contest featuring Michel Pereira taking on Abusupiyan Magomedov.
Pereira (31-12 MMA) will be looking to rebound, this after suffering a fifth-round TKO loss to Anthony Hernandez this past October in Las Vegas. Prior to that setback, ‘Demolidor’ had strung together eight straight wins, which included stoppage victories over Andre Petroski, Michal Oleksiejczuk and Ihor Potieria.
Meanwhile, Magomedov (27-6-1 MMA) will enter tonight’s contest on a two-fight winning streak, his most recent being a third-round submission victory over Brunno Ferreira at last October’s UFC 308 event. The 34-year-old has gone 3-2 over his past five fights overall.
