Carlos Prates woke up the crowd at UFC on ESPN 57 after six consecutive decisions opened the card.

Prates (19-6 MMA, 2-0 UFC) put his striking prowess on display against Charlie Radtke (9-4 MMA, 2-1 UFC) in the welterweight bout at KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky., setting up a brilliantly placed knee to the body that folded his opponent and forced the referee to step in at the 4:47 mark of Round 1.

Check out the replay of the stoppage blow (via X):

After the win, Prates said he wants to return to action at UFC 305 in Perth, Australia, and revealed there’s a personal motivation behind the request.

“Aug. 17, the UFC is going to do a show in Australia,” Prates said in his post-fight interview with Paul Felder. “It’s my birthday, and also my daughter lives there. So please give me a fight in Australia. Please.”
