Prates sets UFC records for fastest knockouts, knockdowns, and performance bonuses

Carlos Prates has set multiple UFC records in just eight fights. He achieved seven knockout victories faster than any fighter in UFC history, surpassing heavyweights like Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez who needed nine bouts. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in under 17 rounds, the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes in promotional history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone, accomplishing in eight fights what typically takes 15. The post describes Prates' eight-fight run as one of the top three most impressive stretches in UFC history. He has finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats opponents like Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would rival Jon Jones' legacy.
