Carlos Prates sets UFC records for fastest seven knockouts and bonus accumulation

Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic UFC records in just eight fights. He became the fastest fighter in UFC history to record seven knockout victories, accomplishing this feat faster than heavyweights like Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos who needed nine bouts. Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever achieved seven knockouts in the promotion. Prates also holds the record for most knockdowns in the shortest time, scoring 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter ever, needing only eight fights compared to the average of 15. The analyst describes Prates' eight-fight run as one of the top three most spectacular debuts in UFC history, noting he has knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been finished before.
