Carlos Prates was responding to a joke by Usman, who earlier said that Carlos would knock everyone out because he smokes all the time.
"Yeah, I saw what he wrote. I started smoking when I was 12 or 13 years old. I was idle at school. I liked going to school, but I didn't like learning. At that time I couldn't even imagine that I would become a professional fighter. I smoke 8-10 cigarettes a day. Once I tried to quit, I didn't smoke for a week and gained five pounds because I was always hungry and I ate everything. I smoked my last cigarette before I went into the Apex arena because you can't smoke there. You can't smoke there, you can't drink anything - just water and what they give you"
