UFC hopeful Marcos Degli wants to be the Carlos Prates of flyweight division

Marcos Degli gets a chance to fight for a UFC deal Tuesday night in Las Vegas, battling Paris Moran on Dana White’s Contender Series, and it felt like a long time for the flyweight talent. Named one of the top Brazilian prospects to watch in 2024, Degli added three title wins to his MMA record since, claiming and defending the LFA belt with a trio of knockouts to improve to 14-3. Degli had Vale Top Team teammate Carlos Prates campaign for him many times over the course of his rise to stardom in the UFC, and now has the chance to back it up.
