“He’s an awesome fighter —really a dangerous guy, an exciting guy to watch,” Jack Della Maddalena told UFC.com about his opponent, Carlos Prates. “He gets into a flow, and he looks really good. He put a lot of good fighters down for the count; it’s gonna be exciting. You’ve gotta be absolutely switched on —can’t lose focus in this one —but I believe we’ve got the skills to really push him, put a hard pace forward. I believe I’ve got the defensive skills to stay away from the big shots. I’m excited to perform, test my skills against an elite striker.”
