Carlos Prates sets multiple UFC records in eight-fight winning streak

Brazilian welterweight Carlos Prates has achieved unprecedented milestones in UFC history through just eight fights. He became the fastest fighter ever to record seven knockout victories in the UFC, accomplishing this feat faster than heavyweights Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos who needed nine fights. Prates also set the record for fastest to 14 knockdowns, achieving this in only 17 incomplete rounds with the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he became the fastest to earn seven Performance of the Night bonuses, doing so in eight fights compared to the average 15 fights needed by other fighters. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would surpass Jon Jones in the greatest-of-all-time discussion.
