Carlos Prates has achieved notable distinctions by becoming the first fighter to knock out two experienced veterans who had never been finished by strikes previously. Leon Edwards had never been knocked out in 28 professional fights before facing Prates. Li Jingliang had similarly never been knocked out in 27 professional fights prior to his bout with Prates. Jack Della Maddalena had also never lost by knockout in standup fighting before facing Prates, with his only previous TKO loss coming from ground-and-pound while exhausted in the grappling phase. These accomplishments highlight Prates' exceptional finishing power against high-level opposition with proven durability.
