Prates becomes first to knockout Edwards, Li Jingliang, and Della Maddalena

Carlos Prates has achieved a unique distinction by becoming the first fighter to knock out three previously undefeated-by-knockout opponents. Leon Edwards had never been knocked out in 28 fights before facing Prates. Li Jingliang had never been knocked out in 27 fights before meeting Prates. Jack Della Maddalena had never been knocked out on the feet before fighting Prates; his only prior TKO loss came from ground-and-pound after he was exhausted.
