Quick read

Multiple UFC fighters provided detailed breakdowns of Carlos Prates' striking performance, particularly his knee and elbow techniques. Cory Sandhagen highlighted Prates' unique spring-loaded knee strikes and his ability to transition knees into high kicks by wrapping over the head. Jorge Masvidal praised Prates' distance coverage with knees and compared his performance to "Mortal Kombat," while noting concerns about how Islam Makhachev's wrestling might challenge him. Dustin Poirier observed that Prates opened up his opponent's guard with knees and elbows while showing no fear of takedowns. Dean Thomas noted how Prates' knees blended seamlessly with his hand strikes, preventing opponents from closing distance. The analysis focused on technical innovations that set Prates apart at welterweight.
