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

Carlos Prates has achieved unprecedented knockout statistics in UFC history through just eight fights. He became the fastest fighter ever to record seven UFC knockouts, accomplishing this in 8 bouts compared to nearest competitors Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed 9 fights as heavyweights. Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 of 2,710) have ever reached 7 knockouts. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns faster than anyone in UFC history, achieving this in under 17 full rounds, establishing the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in history, requiring just 8 fights versus the typical 15. The analysis notes Prates consecutively knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, and even floored one with leg kicks. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would surpass Jon Jones as the greatest fighter ever.
