Matt Brown welcomes Carlos Prates potentially breaking his UFC knockout record

Matt Brown stated he would be happy if Carlos Prates breaks his record for most knockouts in UFC welterweight history. Brown currently holds the record with 13 knockouts, while Prates has seven. Brown revealed that he has personally interacted with Prates, who asked to take a photo and mentioned being a big fan who watched Brown's instructional DVDs and learned techniques from them. Brown praised Prates's recent performance against an opponent referred to as Jack as "phenomenal," but noted that Prates's upcoming fight against Islam represents a completely different level of competition. The veteran fighter expressed genuine admiration for the Brazilian prospect and seems supportive of his rise in the division.
