Carlos Prates sets UFC records with knockout streak and performance bonuses

Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, reaching that mark in just eight fights. Previous record holders Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez, both heavyweights, required nine fights. Only 62 fighters out of 2,710 who have competed in the UFC over 33 years have achieved seven knockouts, making it a rare feat at 2.29%. Prates also holds the record for the fastest accumulation of 14 knockdowns in UFC history, accomplished in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he has earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone in UFC history, requiring only eight fights compared to the average of 15 fights for other fighters. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates (plus potentially Shavkat Rakhmonov), he would rival or surpass Jon Jones's legacy.
