Pros react after Carlos Prates KO’s Neil Magny at UFC Vegas 100
Tonight’s UFC Vegas 100 event was headlined by a welterweight bout between Carlos Prates and Neil Magny.
Prates (21-6 MMA) was returning to action for the first time since scoring a highlight reel KO over Jingliang Li this past August at UFC 305 (see that here). The Brazilian standout had gone a perfect 3-0 in his first three assignments with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, scoring finishes in all three of those fights.
Meanwhile, Neil Magny (29-13 MMA) had entered tonight’s contest looking to rebound, this after suffering a first-round TKO loss to Michael Morales this past August. The 37-year-old veteran had gone 2-3 over his past five Octagon appearances overall ahead of tonight’s affair.
The UFC Vegas 100 main event proved to be a coming out party for Carlos Prates. The Brazilian standout earned his fourth knockout win of 2024, this after sending Neil Magny crashing to the canvas with a left hand to the temple at the 4:50 mark of the opening round (see that here). Although Magny had a good start to the fight, Prates was eventually able to land a standing elbow that significantly changed the momentum of the contest and ultimately led to the finish. Following the win, Prates called out Jack Della Maddelena.
