Destroys JDM in Perth main event Prates defeated Jack Della Maddalena via TKO (strikes) at 3:17 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Perth, Australia.

Impact This was a dominant performance from Prates in a fight which went off as a pick 'em. Unlike the Brazilian's past performances with the UFC when he typically finished his opponent with one big shot, Prates systemically broke Della Maddalena down over the better part of three rounds. He landed a bunch of damaging leg kicks in addition to his trademark power blows. Defensively, Prates gave up a pair of takedowns, but only 1:13 worth of control time. This was an encouraging effort on multiple fronts. A winner of three straight and now 7-1 with the UFC, Prates is closing in on a title shot at 170 pounds.

First to knockout Leon Edwards Prates defeated Leon Edwards via KO (punches) at 1:28 of Round 2 at UFC 322 on Saturday in New York City.

Impact Prates can't really grapple and he's going to be in all sorts of trouble when these big shots don't land, but the power is clearly a legitimate difference maker. Carlos looked lousy in the opening round, giving up two takedowns and 3:00 worth of control time, but he cut off Edwards' space early in Round 2 and connected with a left hand which literally knocked Leon off of his feet and finished him in an instant. 6-1 in the UFC, with six knockout wins and a unanimous decision loss to Ian Garry on his resume, Prates may have been next in line for a title shot against the winner of tonight's main event between Jack Della Maddalena and Islam Makhachev, but Michael Morales is going to have something to say about it following his first-round knockout win over Sean Brady.
