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

Carlos Prates has achieved unprecedented striking milestones during his UFC career spanning just eight fights. He recorded seven knockout victories faster than any fighter in UFC history, surpassing even heavyweights like Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine bouts. He also accumulated 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest rate per 15 minutes in UFC history, and earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights when the average is 15 fights for seven bonuses. Prates has finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, including one with leg kicks. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates, he would equal Jon Jones' legacy, and if he also beats Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would surpass Jones. The author calls Rakhmonov, with his 20-0 record and 19 finishes, the final boss for establishing all-time greatness.
