UFC Perth: 1xBet ambassador Carlos Prates defeated Jack Della Maddalena

Dominance from the opening minute

Prates fought on his opponent’s home turf – both geographically and competitively. Perth is Della Maddalena’s hometown, and the crowd at RAC Arena was firmly behind the local fighter. Still, that did not stop the Brazilian, nicknamed the Nightmare, from taking control of the bout from the very beginning. In the third round, Prates knocked Della Maddalena to the canvas twice before the referee stopped the contest.

After the victory, Prates stated that he deserves to be the next UFC title challenger: “Nobody beat two former champs in a really good way. They never lost by knockout, and then I come there and make it look easy. All respect to them, they are tough. But against Leon Edwards, against Della Maddalena, I made it look easy, and I'm next.”
