Prates sets UFC records for knockouts, knockdowns, and bonuses in eight fights

Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic UFC milestones in just eight fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing in eight fights what the nearest competitors (both heavyweights) needed nine fights to achieve. Only 2.29 percent of all UFC fighters in the promotion's 33-year history have ever reached seven knockouts. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns faster than anyone in UFC history, doing so in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the historical average of 15 fights needed for seven bonuses. The analysis positions his eight-fight run as one of the top three most spectacular debut sequences in UFC history.
