Prates sets multiple UFC records: fastest to 7 KOs, 14 knockdowns, 7 bonuses

Carlos Prates has achieved three historic UFC milestones in just eight fights, setting unprecedented pace records. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing the feat in eight bouts compared to the previous record of nine fights held by Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, both heavyweights. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average pace of 15 fights. The analysis describes Prates's eight-fight run as one of the top three most explosive stretches in UFC history, noting he consecutively knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been stopped before. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates, he would equal Jon Jones's legacy, and surpass it with a victory over Shavkat Rakhmonov.
