LFA 154 video: Carlos Prates smokes Eduardo Ramon with stiffening head kick

Brazilian welterweight Carlos Prates may have scored the best knockout of the weekend at LFA 154.

[autotag]Carlos Prates[/autotag] scored a thunderous head kick finish for the second time in as many recent bouts.

At LFA 154, Prates (16-6) smoked opponent [autotag]Eduardo Ramon[/autotag] (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.
