Carlos Prates sets multiple UFC records in historic eight-fight run

Carlos Prates has achieved multiple unprecedented records during his first eight UFC fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing in eight fights what previously took nine even for heavyweights like Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez. Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 of 2,710) have ever recorded seven knockouts in the promotion. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns faster than anyone in history, doing so in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest knockdowns-per-15-minutes average ever. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the historical average of 15 fights. The analyst considers this one of the top three eight-fight runs in UFC history, noting Prates finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
