Matt Brown says he'd be happy if Carlos Prates breaks his UFC welterweight KO record

Matt Brown, who holds the UFC welterweight record with 13 knockouts, expressed he would be pleased if Carlos Prates breaks his record. Prates currently has 7 knockouts in the division. Brown revealed he is a longtime fan of Prates and that the two have met, with Prates telling Brown he watched his instructional DVDs and learned from them. Brown praised Prates' recent knockout of Jack Della Maddalena as spectacular, but noted that Prates' upcoming fight against Islam Makhachev represents a significantly higher level of competition. With the caliber of opposition increasing, matching Brown's record will be challenging for Prates going forward.
