Carlos Prates Gets A Highlight Reel KO In His Debut | UFC Fight Night: Hermansson vs Pyfer

Carlos Prates was no newbie to MMA when he won his contract on season seven of Dana White's Contender Series, so when he made his UFC debut in February, he adjusted seamlessly, earning a Performance of the Night bonus for his knockout of Trevin Giles. Four months later, he put some extra cash in his pocket again, knocking out Charles Radtke in the first round. But "The Nightmare" was just getting started, as he closed out 2024 with back-to-back knockouts of Li Jingliang and Neil Magny that garnered him two more Performance of the Night bonuses and a spot in the welterweight Top 15. Top Newcomer of the Year? This one was unanimous.
