UFC fighters analyze Carlos Prates' devastating knee strikes against Jack

Multiple UFC fighters provided technical analysis of Carlos Prates' dominant knee strike performance. Cory Sandhagen highlighted how Prates' left knee changed the fight, noting the unique power generation from springing rather than stepping, and how he mixed knees with high kicks by wrapping around the head. Sandhagen also praised Prates' use of chopping elbows to break through defensive guards. Jorge Masvidal emphasized how Prates' knees covered exceptional distance and neutralized his opponent's clinch work and body boxing, calling it some of the best knee work he's seen in a long time. Dustin Poirier noted that Prates broke through the guard with knees and elbows while showing no fear of takedowns, which allowed him to throw knees more confidently. Dean Thomas observed how well Prates disguised his knees within his hand combinations.
