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 milestone in just eight fights. This surpasses previous records held by heavyweights like Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, who needed nine fights. Out of 2,710 fighters in UFC's 33-year history, only 62 have reached seven knockouts, representing just 2.29%. Prates also holds the record for fastest accumulation of 14 knockdowns (in 17 incomplete rounds) and the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in just eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average fighter who typically needs 15 fights for that achievement. His recent victories include knockout wins over two former UFC champions who had never been finished by knockout before, with one being stopped by leg kicks.
