Carlos Prates has achieved unprecedented milestones in UFC history across just eight fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, surpassing heavyweights like Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. Among 2,710 fighters over 33 years, only 62 have reached seven knockouts, making it a rare 2.29% achievement. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest average per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, nearly half the average 15 fights needed. The post describes this as one of the top three most impressive eight-fight runs in UFC history, noting Prates finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before.
