Prates becomes first to knockout three previously unfinished strikers

Carlos Prates has achieved a rare feat by becoming the first fighter to knock out three opponents who had never been knocked out in standup before. Leon Edwards had never been knocked out in 28 professional fights until facing Prates. Li Jingliang had never been knocked out in 27 fights before losing to Prates. Jack Della Maddalena's only TKO loss prior to Prates came from ground strikes when he was exhausted, never from standup striking. This accomplishment highlights Prates' exceptional finishing ability against durable, proven fighters who had built reputations for never being stopped on the feet.
