Do vision boards work? Ask Carlos
\nPrates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prates (24-7) took on former champion Jack
\nDella Maddalena<\/a> (18-4) at
\nUFC Perth<\/a> last weekend. Prates picked apart Maddalena, leaving
\nthe gritty Australian wincing in pain by the third round. \u201cThe
\nNightmare\u201d inflicted relentless punishment until Maddalena
\ncrumbled.<\/p>\n

Prates recently revealed that he had \u201cmanifested\u201d his win over
\nMaddalena. Prates showed scribblings on his mirror that said he
\nwould beat Maddalena and be a champion someday. Prates said on
\nInstagram:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened on Saturday was already written a long time ago.
\n\u2018I\u2019m going to knock out Jack Della Maddalena.\u2019 \u2018I\u2019m going to beat
\nJDM.\u2019 \u2018I\u2019m going to knock out JDM.\u2019 This was already written a long
\ntime ago. \u2018I\u2019m going to become a champion,\u2019\u201d as translated by Championship Rounds on X, formerly known
\nas Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While vision boards serve as a source of affirmation and
\nmotivation, one\u2019s dreams can only be manifested into reality by
\nhard work. Prates claims the only man to beat him in the
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a>, Ian Garry<\/a>, is
\nnext in line to challenge Islam
\nMakhachev<\/a> for the welterweight title. Prates believes he has
\nsecured a title shot and is willing to wait for the winner of the
\npotential clash between the two.<\/p>\n

Carlos
\nPrates<\/a> was manifesting the JDM knockout by writing it on his
\nmirror every day \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n

“I’m going to knock out JDM”<\/p>\n

“I’m gonna become a champion”<\/p>\n
