Carlos Prates sets multiple UFC records with seven knockouts in eight fights

Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven UFC knockout victories in history, reaching the milestone in just eight fights. This surpasses previous records held by heavyweights like Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, who needed nine fights. Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever achieved seven knockouts in the organization. Prates also set the record for fastest accumulation of 14 knockdowns in UFC history, achieving this in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he became the fastest fighter to earn seven Performance of the Night bonuses, doing so in 8 fights compared to the typical 15-fight average. The analysis describes Prates' eight-fight run as one of the top three most spectacular stretches in UFC history, noting he has knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates, he would equal Jon Jones' legacy, and defeating Shavkat Rakhmonov would surpass it.
