Carlos Prates sets multiple UFC records with historic knockout streak

Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, reaching the mark in just eight fights. This surpasses heavyweights like Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez, who needed nine bouts. Prates has also recorded the fastest 14 knockdowns in UFC history, accomplished in 17 incomplete rounds, and earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in promotional history. Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever achieved seven knockouts in the promotion. The post notes that Prates knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, and suggests that defeating fighters like Ian Garry, Prates, Michael Morales, or Ilia Topuria, plus Shavkat Rakhmonov, would establish Islam Makhachev as the greatest of all time.
