Prates becomes first to knockout Edwards, Li, and Della Maddalena in standup

A remarkable statistical observation highlights Carlos Prates' knockout power against previously iron-chinned opponents. Leon Edwards had never been knocked out in 28 professional fights before facing Prates. Li Jingliang had never been knocked out in 27 fights before Prates. Jack Della Maddalena had never been knocked out in standup fighting before Prates, with his only TKO loss coming via ground-and-pound when exhausted. This pattern demonstrates Prates' exceptional finishing ability against fighters who had proven extremely difficult to knock out throughout their careers.
