By the Numbers: UFC Vegas 100

Carlos Prates passed the gatekeeper test with flying colors.

“The Nightmare” made short work of Neil Magny in the UFC Vegas 100 main event, knocking his opponent out cold with a glancing left hand at the 4:50 mark of Round 1 on Saturday night at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The Fighting Nerds product is quickly making a name for himself in the welterweight division, and with a 4-0 record in the Octagon since his debut in February, Prates looks like a top “Breakthrough Fighter of the Year” candidate for 2024.

Here is a by-the-numbers look at UFC Vegas 100, with statistics courtesy of UFCStats.com.
