Carlos Prates sets multiple UFC records with seven-fight knockout streak

Carlos Prates has achieved unprecedented records in UFC history with his knockout performances. He has become the fastest fighter ever to accumulate seven knockout victories in the UFC, doing so in just eight fights, surpassing even heavyweights like Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos who needed nine fights. Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters in the promotion's 33-year history have reached seven knockouts. Prates has also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest average per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone, needing only eight fights compared to the typical 15. The post notes he has knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been finished before, and suggests a potential path for Islam Makhachev to face Prates, Ian Garry, and eventually Shavkat Rakhmonov to cement a legendary legacy.
