Carlos Prates sets UFC records with 7 knockouts and 14 knockdowns in 8 fights

Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, reaching the mark in just eight fights. He surpassed heavyweight fighters like Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez, who needed nine fights. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in only 17 incomplete rounds, the highest average per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average of 15 fights needed by other fighters. The post notes Prates knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, including one with leg kicks. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones's legacy.
