Carlos Prates just delivered a knockout so brutal, it's already being compared to a taser! His stunning victory over Leon Edwards at UFC 322 has sent shockwaves through the MMA world.
On Saturday, November 16, 2025, Prates achieved the unthinkable: he became the first fighter to ever defeat former welterweight champion Leon Edwards by way of strikes. The knockout was so definitive that it left Edwards unconscious. Prates's performance was nothing short of electrifying.
But here's where it gets interesting: Prates is quickly becoming known as a knockout artist. His record speaks for itself. He now boasts a 6-1 record in the UFC, and every single one of those wins has come by way of knockout or technical knockout (KO/TKO).
And this is the part most people miss: overall, a staggering 18 of Prates's 23 professional wins have been secured by his devastating knockout power.
The reactions from fellow fighters and MMA professionals on social media were immediate and emphatic. Vince Morales, for instance, perfectly captured the moment, stating that "Prates looks like he hits people with a taser! They all drop like that."
