Carlos Prates sets multiple UFC records in just eight fights

Carlos Prates has achieved unprecedented milestones in his UFC career through just eight fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing in eight fights what previously took nine fights for Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, the previous record holders who were heavyweights. Only 2.29% of UFC roster fighters have ever achieved seven knockouts. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone, requiring only eight fights compared to the average of 15 fights. He has knocked out two former UFC champions, Leon Edwards and Li Jingliang, neither of whom had been knocked out before facing Prates. The post suggests Prates represents a historic challenger for Islam Makhachev.
