Four fights and four knockouts for Carlos Prates this year in the UFC.
'The Nightmare' came up against perennial welterweight gatekeeper Neil Magny in the main event of UFC Vegas 100, and passed with flying colors. Magny has been a UFC mainstay for over a decade, serving to derail welterweight hopefuls looking to crack the rankings.
This wasn't the case for Prates, however, as he denied Magny's best attempts at grappling and completely flatlined him with a glancing left hand late into the first round.

In his post-fight interview , Prates called out No. 4 welterweight Jack Della Maddalena for a showdown at UFC 312 in Sydney, on February 9. If not 'JDM', Prates remarked that Geoff Neal would be a fun fight too.
