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

Carlos Prates has achieved three historic UFC milestones in just eight fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than any fighter in UFC history, accomplishing in eight bouts what previously took nine (achieved only by heavyweight champions Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez). Only 2.29% of UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever recorded seven knockouts. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the fastest in UFC history and the highest average per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone, achieving in eight fights what typically takes 15. He has knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been stopped before, including finishing one with leg kicks. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal Jon Jones' legacy, and potentially surpass him with those three victories, achieving what Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov envisioned for regional MMA dominance.
