Carlos Prates sets UFC records for fastest 7 KOs and 14 knockdowns in 8 fights

Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic UFC milestones in just eight fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing this in eight bouts compared to the previous record holders (Diego Sanchez and Cain Velasquez) who needed nine fights as heavyweights. Only 62 of 2,710 fighters (2.29%) who have competed in UFC's 33-year history have recorded seven knockouts. Prates also set the record for fastest to 14 knockdowns, achieving this in just 17 incomplete rounds—the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he became the fastest fighter to earn seven Performance of the Night bonuses, doing so in eight fights compared to the typical 15-fight average. The post describes this as one of the top three most brilliant eight-fight runs in UFC history.
