Carlos Prates sets UFC records with fastest seven knockouts and bonus streak

Carlos Prates has set multiple UFC records in just eight fights, earning seven knockout victories faster than anyone in promotional history, surpassing heavyweights like Cain Velasquez. He achieved 14 knockdowns in only 17 partial rounds, the highest rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. Prates also earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter, doing so in eight fights compared to the average of 15. He has finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, including one who was stopped by leg kicks. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy. The post describes Prates' eight-fight run as one of the top three most spectacular starts in UFC history.
