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

Carlos Prates has achieved unprecedented knockout records in UFC history through just eight fights. He became the fastest fighter ever to accumulate seven UFC knockout victories, surpassing heavyweights like Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. Prates also holds the record for fastest to 14 knockdowns in UFC history, achieving this in just 17 incomplete rounds, and the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in history, accomplishing in eight fights what typically takes 15. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy, with Rakhmonov representing the "final boss" challenge.
