Prates makes quick work of Magny at UFC ****** Night

Welterweight Carlos Prates has made a stunning statement in the main event at UFC ****** Night in Las Vegas, securing a late-first-round knockout against Neil Magny.

Despite Magny entering the ****** as the 15th-ranked welterweight, Prates was the sizeable ******** favourite. After a few wrestling exchanges, Prates caught Magny with a short left *****, plus a follow-up shot that kept Magny off-balance, leading to the referee stopping the ****** at the 4:50 mark of the round.

“Man, I can’t explain how happy I am right now,” Prates said.

Brazilian Prates (21-6-0) has four finishes in the UFC this year and is offering to ****** *********** Jack Della Maddalena in his next bout.

Magny (29-14-0) has lost his past two fights since beginning the year with a win against Mike Malott at UFC 297 in January.

Newly-minted UFC middleweight Reinier de Ridder (18-2-0) did not disappoint in his UFC debut, submitting Gerald Meerschaert (37-18-0) by third-round arm triangle in the co-main event. It was de Ridder’s 12th submission win of his career.

If any fights fall through, de Ridder requested a quick turnaround at UFC 309, which will be held next Saturday in New York.

A bantamweight ****** between Gaston Bolanos (8-4-0) and Cortavious Romious (9-3-0) entertained the limited crowd at the UFC APEX. Bolanos rallied after nearly getting finished in Round 1, using his striking volume to win the ****** by unanimous decision.

Gillian Robertson (15-8-0) beat Luana Pinheiro by unanimous decision (29-27, 29-28, 29-28) in women’s strawweight action, improving her winning streak to three fights.

The event opened with Mansur Abdul-Malik (7-0-0) securing a first-round TKO against Dusko Todorovic (12-5-0) in a middleweight battle. It was Abdul-Malik’s UFC debut after successfully graduating from Dana White’s Contender Series with a win against Wes Schultz.
