Carlos Prates sets UFC record with seven knockouts in eight fights

Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, reaching this milestone in just eight fights. The previous record was held by heavyweights Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, who needed nine fights. Only 62 fighters out of 2,710 who have competed in UFC over 33 years have accumulated seven knockouts total, representing just 2.29% of all fighters. Prates has also set records for the fastest 14 knockdowns in UFC history (in 17 incomplete rounds) and the fastest seven Performance of the Night bonuses. The post characterizes Prates's eight-fight run as one of the top three most spectacular stretches in UFC history, noting he has knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been stopped before.
