Carlos Prates sets multiple UFC speed records with seven knockouts in eight fights

Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, reaching the milestone in just eight fights. He surpassed previous record holders Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, both heavyweights who needed nine fights. Out of 2,710 fighters in UFC's 33-year history, only 62 have achieved seven knockouts, representing just 2.29% of all roster members. Prates also holds the record for fastest to 14 knockdowns, accomplishing this in just 17 incomplete rounds, and fastest to seven Performance of the Night bonuses. The post characterizes his eight-fight run as one of the top three most spectacular debut stretches in UFC history, noting he has knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been stopped before.
