Carlos Prates sets UFC records for fastest knockouts and bonuses in eight-fight run

Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic milestones in just eight UFC bouts, setting records for the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history. He reached this mark faster than heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, who needed nine fights. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone in UFC history, achieving this in eight fights compared to an average of 15 fights for other fighters. The post emphasizes that Prates consecutively finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, including one who was stopped by leg kicks. The author argues this represents one of the top three eight-fight runs in UFC history and suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats both Ian Garry and Prates (plus potentially Shavkat Rakhmonov), he would equal or surpass Jon Jones's legacy.
