Carlos Augusto Monteiro Prates[1] (born August 17, 1993) is a Brazilian professional mixed martial artist and former Muay Thai fighter.[3] He currently competes in the welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). As of November 12, 2024, he is #13 in the UFC welterweight rankings.[4]

Background

Prates was born August 17, 1993 in Taubaté, São Paulo, Brazil to a single mother. During his teenage years he started smoking cigarettes, and later started Muay Thai at Vale Top Team and after four years started his mixed martial arts career. After his fourth loss Prates would move to Thailand to learn Muay Thai and compete before switching back to MMA in 2016.[5]

Mixed martial arts career

His professional MMA debut took place in 2012, but his early career had a rocky start. Over his first nine fights, he faced several challenges, finishing with a 5-4 record. These setbacks were partly attributed to his competing in an unsuitable weight class and a lack of discipline in his training regimen. Eventually, Prates honed his skills and found his stride, particularly after an extended stay in Thailand, where he gained valuable experience in Muay Thai.[16]

Prates fought extensively in the Asian MMA scene, participating in events like China’s Chin Woo Men and Thailand’s Full Metal Dojo.[17]

He also joined ONE Championship’s Warrior Series in 2019, where he gained recognition with wins against fighters such as Gunther Kalunda. Prates compiled a record of 15-6 from 2012 to 2023 before being invited to Dana White's Contender Series.[1]

Dana White's Contender Series

Prates made his Contender Series debut on Week 4 of Season 7. He won via knockout in the second round, earning a UFC contract.[18][19]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Prates made his debut on February 10, 2024 at UFC Fight Night: Hermansson vs. Pyfer against Trevin Giles. Prates won via KO in the second round.[20] This earned him a Performance of the Night bonus.[21]

Prates later fought at UFC on ESPN: Cannonier vs. Imavov against Charles Radtke, where he won via a knee to the body in the first round.[22] This gave him another Performance of the Night bonus.[23]

Prates made his pay-per-view debut at UFC 305 on August 18, 2024 against Li Jingliang. He won via a left hook knockout after dropping Jingliang twice, being the first to knockout Jingliang.[24] This earned him his third consecutive Performance of the Night bonus.[25]

Prates had his first main event on UFC Fight Night: Magny vs. Prates against veteran Neil Magny. Prates defended all 7 of Magny's takedowns and dropped him twice, winning by knockout 4 minutes and 50 seconds into the first round.[26] This earned Prates's his fourth consecutive Performance of the Night award.[27]
