Carlos Prates sets UFC records with fastest 7-knockout run and bonus streak

Carlos Prates has established multiple historic UFC records through just eight fights in the promotion. He reached seven knockout victories faster than any fighter in UFC history, accomplishing this in eight fights compared to nine fights for the previous record holders, both heavyweight champions. Out of 2,710 fighters who have competed in the UFC over 33 years, only 62 (2.29%) have achieved seven knockouts. Prates also set the record for fastest accumulation of 14 knockdowns 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. Prates has notably finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, with one of them being stopped by leg kicks.
