Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic milestones in just eight UFC fights. He became the fastest fighter in UFC history to record seven knockouts, surpassing heavyweights like Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos who needed nine fights. Only 2.29% of fighters (62 out of 2,710) in UFC's 33-year history have ever accumulated seven knockouts. Prates also holds the record for fastest to 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, posting the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in record time, nearly twice as fast as the average fighter. The post suggests Prates has delivered one of the top three eight-fight runs in UFC history, having finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, and positions him as a potential historic scalp for Islam Makhachev.
