Carlos Prates has achieved multiple UFC records in remarkably quick fashion. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing this in just eight fights—faster than heavyweights like Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez who did it in nine. He also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. Additionally, Prates earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter ever, needing only eight fights compared to the average of 15. The post notes that only 2.29% of UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever reached seven knockouts in the promotion. Prates has finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, including knocking one down with leg kicks.
