Carlos Prates sets UFC records with fastest 7 knockouts and 14 knockdowns

Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic UFC records in just eight fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than any fighter in UFC history, surpassing heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. Out of 2,710 fighters who competed in UFC over 33 years, only 62 (2.29%) ever reached seven knockouts, making this achievement even more remarkable. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the fastest in UFC history, and holds the highest average knockdown percentage per 15 minutes. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone, requiring only eight fights compared to the 15-fight average. The analysis suggests Prates represents one of the brightest eight-fight runs in UFC history and would provide a historic challenge for Islam Makhachev.
