Carlos Prates sets multiple UFC records with eight-fight finishing streak

Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, doing so in just eight fights, surpassing heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. Out of 2,710 fighters who have competed in the UFC over 33 years, only 62 (2.29%) have achieved seven knockouts, making Prates' speed even more remarkable. He also holds the record for the fastest 14 knockdowns in UFC history, achieved in just 17 incomplete rounds, and the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, Prates earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone in UFC history, doing so in eight fights compared to the average of 15 fights needed by other fighters. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates (plus potentially Shavkat Rakhmonov), he would equal or surpass Jon Jones's legacy, fulfilling Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov's vision of surpassing American MMA.
