Carlos Prates sets UFC records with fastest 7 knockouts and bonuses

Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic milestones in UFC. He recorded the fastest ascent to 7 knockout victories in UFC history, accomplishing this in just 8 fights—faster than heavyweights Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who did it in 9. Only 62 fighters out of 2,710 in UFC's 33-year history have reached 7 knockouts, representing just 2.29% of the roster. Prates also achieved the fastest accumulation of 14 knockdowns in UFC history, doing so in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time in company history. Additionally, he earned 7 Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in UFC history, needing only 8 fights compared to the average of 15. He has consecutively knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, with one falling to leg kicks—an extremely rare occurrence for a peak-form champion.
