What makes him scary is not just the knockouts. It is the way he creates them. He stays calm under pressure, reads reactions in real time, attacks the body and head with precision, and carries fight-ending power deep into exchanges. Against a fighter like Prates, every second on the feet feels dangerous. This is why UFC fighters are truly scared of Carlos Prates.
