Carlos Prates sets multiple UFC speed records with eight-fight run

Carlos Prates has achieved unprecedented UFC milestones in just eight fights. He became the fastest fighter in UFC history to accumulate seven knockout victories, surpassing heavyweights like Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. Prates also holds the record for fastest to 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, and fastest to earn seven Performance of the Night bonuses, doing so in nearly half the fights other fighters typically require. His eight-fight stretch ranks among the top three most spectacular debut runs in UFC history. Prates has finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out previously, including one who fell from leg kicks. The post suggests that defeating fighters like Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov would elevate Islam Makhachev to Jon Jones's level or beyond.
