Carlos Prates becomes first to knock out Edwards, Li, and Della Maddalena

Carlos Prates has achieved the notable distinction of being the first fighter to knock out three previously undefeated strikers. Leon Edwards had never been knocked out in 28 professional fights before facing Prates. Li Jingliang had never suffered a knockout loss in 27 bouts prior to their meeting. Jack Della Maddalena had never been knocked out in standup fighting, with his only TKO loss coming via ground-and-pound while fatigued in the grappling phase. This trio of historic finishes underscores Prates' exceptional knockout power and striking ability against elite competition.
