Prates sets UFC records with historic knockout streak through eight fights

Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, doing so in just eight fights. This surpasses previous records held by heavyweights like Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez, who needed nine fights. Only 2.29% of UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever recorded seven knockouts in the promotion. Prates also holds the record for fastest to 14 knockdowns in UFC history, achieving this in under 17 full rounds, giving him the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in UFC history, needing only eight fights compared to the average 15 fights for other fighters. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he could surpass Jon Jones's legacy.
