Carlos Prates sets UFC records with historic knockout streak and finish rate

Carlos Prates has achieved multiple unprecedented records in UFC history through his devastating finishing ability. He has secured seven knockout victories faster than any fighter in UFC history, accomplishing this in just eight fights, surpassing heavyweights like Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez who needed nine bouts. Out of 2,710 fighters who have competed in UFC over 33 years, only 62 (2.29%) have reached seven knockouts, making Prates's speed particularly remarkable. He has also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, achieving 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 anyone, requiring only eight fights compared to the average of 15 fights. His recent victories include knockout wins over two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, with one finish coming via leg kicks. The post suggests this eight-fight run ranks in the top three most spectacular debuts in UFC history.
