Prates sets UFC record with fastest seven knockouts, 14 knockdowns

Carlos Prates has set multiple UFC records in just eight fights. He achieved seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, surpassing heavyweights like Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. Only 2.29% of UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever accumulated seven knockouts in their careers. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the fastest rate in UFC history and the highest average knockdowns per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average of 15 fights needed. The post notes Prates consecutively knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before.
