Carlos Prates sets UFC records with seven knockout wins in eight fights

Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, accomplishing this in just eight fights. This surpasses previous record holders Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, who both needed nine fights. Only 2.29% of UFC roster fighters have ever reached seven knockouts. Prates also holds records for the fastest 14 knockdowns (17 incomplete rounds) and highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes. He earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average. Prates recently knocked out two former UFC champions, including finishing Leon Edwards with leg kicks, marking one of the most explosive eight-fight runs in UFC history.
