Carlos Prates Sets Multiple UFC Records with Historic Eight-Fight Performance

Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic UFC milestones in just eight fights. He became the fastest fighter in UFC history to record seven knockout victories, accomplishing the feat in eight bouts compared to nine for heavyweights Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez. Prates also set the record for fastest accumulation of 14 knockdowns in UFC history, achieving this in just 17 incomplete rounds, resulting in the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time ever recorded. Additionally, he became the fastest to earn seven Performance of the Night bonuses, requiring only eight fights compared to the historical average of 15 fights. Prates has consecutively knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. Analysts suggest that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates, he would equal Jon Jones' legacy, and a subsequent victory over Shavkat Rakhmonov would surpass it.
