Carlos Prates sets multiple UFC records with unprecedented knockout pace

Carlos Prates has achieved several historic UFC milestones in just eight fights, establishing himself as one of the most destructive strikers in promotional history. He reached seven knockout victories faster than any fighter in UFC history, accomplishing the feat in eight bouts compared to Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos who needed nine fights despite competing at heavyweight. Only 62 fighters out of 2,710 who have competed in the UFC over 33 years have reached seven knockouts, representing just 2.29% of the roster. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns faster than anyone in UFC history, achieving this in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in record time, requiring only eight fights compared to the average of 15 fights for other fighters. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones's legacy.
