Carlos Prates sets multiple UFC records with knockout streak and finishing rate

Carlos Prates has achieved three historic UFC records in just eight fights. He reached 7 knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing this in 8 fights compared to the previous fastest of 9 fights by Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, both heavyweights. Only 2.29% of the 2,710 fighters in UFC history have reached 7 knockouts. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the fastest in UFC history and the highest per-15-minute average ever. Additionally, he earned 7 Performance of the Night bonuses in record time, taking only 8 fights compared to the average of 15 fights for other fighters. The analysis notes Prates has finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out, including Jack Della Maddalena by leg kicks. The post suggests that victories over Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov would elevate Islam Makhachev to Jon Jones' level historically.
