Carlos Prates sets multiple UFC records with historic eight-fight performance run

Carlos Prates has achieved three significant UFC records in just eight fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than any fighter in UFC history, accomplishing in eight bouts what typically takes others much longer—even faster than heavyweights like Cain Velasquez. He also recorded 14 knockdowns in only 17 rounds, the highest average per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. Additionally, Prates earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone, achieving in eight fights what typically requires 15 bouts. The post notes that Prates knocked out two former UFC champions back-to-back, fighters who had never been knocked out before, and suggests his upcoming potential matchup with Islam Makhachev could be historic.
