UFC 322 Results: Carlos Prates KO’s Leon Edwards (Video)
We have you covered for all of tonight’s UFC 322 results, including the highly anticipated welterweight bout between Leon Edwards and Carlos Prates.
Edwards (22-5 MMA) will enter tonight’s contest with hopes of snapping a two-fight losing skid. ‘Rocky’ has suffered defeats to Sean Brady and Belal Muhammad in his most recent Octagon appearances. Prior to those setbacks, the former welterweight champion was coming off wins over Colby Covington and Kamaru Usman (x2).
Meanwhile, Carlos Prates (22-7 MMA) was last seen in action at August’s UFC 319 event in Chicago, where he scored a first-round knockout victory over Geoff Neal (see that here). Prior to that triumph, ‘The Nightmare’ was coming off a unanimous decision loss to Ian Machado Garry.
