Carlos Prates sets UFC record with fastest seven knockout wins in eight fights

Carlos Prates achieved the fastest seven knockout victories in UFC history, reaching the milestone in just eight fights. The previous fastest were heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, who needed nine fights. Only 62 fighters out of 2,710 in UFC's 33-year history have reached seven knockouts, representing just 2.29 percent. Prates also holds records for the most knockdowns in the shortest time span and fastest to earn seven Performance of the Night bonuses. He has finished two former UFC champions with strikes, including recent knockout victims who had never been stopped before. The post suggests Prates represents one of the most explosive eight-fight runs in UFC history.
