Prates becomes first to knockout three previously unfinished strikers in succession

Carlos Prates achieved a rare accomplishment by knocking out three fighters who had never been finished by strikes before facing him. Leon Edwards had never been knocked out in 28 professional fights before losing to Prates. Li Jingliang had never been knocked out in 27 fights prior to their bout. Jack Della Maddalena had never been knocked out standing; his only TKO loss came from ground strikes when exhausted. This pattern demonstrates Prates' exceptional finishing power against durable opponents with extensive records of not being stopped by strikes.
