Carlos Prates scored a thunderous head kick finish for the second time in as many recent bouts.
At LFA 154, Prates (16-6) smoked opponent Eduardo Ramon (21-7) with a kick that ended their main card welterweight bout at 2:25 of Round 1. The event took place Friday at Ginasio do Polvilho in Cajamar, Sao Paulo, Brazil and streamed on UFC Fight Pass.
Prates knocked Ramon down with a left hand. Ramon worked his way back to his feet, only to be bludgeoned by the left shin of Prates. That was all she wrote.
