Carlos Prates becomes first to KO Leon Edwards and Li Jingliang

Carlos Prates has achieved a rare distinction by becoming the first fighter to knock out both Leon Edwards and Li Jingliang. Edwards had never been knocked out in 28 professional fights prior to facing Prates. Li Jingliang had similarly never been knocked out in 27 fights before meeting Prates. Additionally, Jack Della Maddalena had never been knocked out on the feet before his encounter with Prates, with his only TKO loss coming from ground and pound while exhausted. These statistics highlight Prates' exceptional knockout power and finishing ability against opponents with previously strong chins. The achievement establishes Prates as one of the most dangerous strikers in the welterweight division.
