Carlos Prates sets multiple UFC records with historic knockout streak

Carlos Prates has achieved remarkable UFC records in just eight fights. He became the fastest fighter in UFC history to reach seven knockout victories, accomplishing this feat faster than heavyweights like Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, who both needed nine fights. Of 2,710 fighters in UFC history over 33 years, only 62 (2.29%) have achieved seven knockouts total. Prates also recorded the fastest accumulation of 14 knockdowns in UFC history, achieving this in just 17 rounds of action, and became the fastest to earn seven Performance of the Night bonuses. Other fighters typically needed 15 fights to reach seven bonuses, while Prates needed only eight. The post suggests his eight-fight run ranks in the top three most impressive starts in UFC history and positions him as a potential challenger for Islam Makhachev.
