Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic milestones in the UFC through just eight fights. He set the record for fastest to seven knockout victories in UFC history, surpassing heavyweights like Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters have ever reached seven knockouts. Prates also recorded the fastest 14 knockdowns in UFC history, accomplishing this in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average 15 fights required. The post notes he knocked out two recent UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, with one stopped by leg kicks.
