Carlos Prates sets UFC records with fastest seven knockouts and bonus achievements

Carlos Prates has established multiple historic UFC records in just eight fights, achieving the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in promotional history. He reached this milestone faster than heavyweight legends Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, who both required nine fights. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest per-15-minute average in UFC history, and earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter ever—typically requiring 15 fights versus his eight. The analysis positions Prates' eight-fight run as one of the top three most spectacular debuts in UFC history, having finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out. If Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates, plus potentially Shavkat Rakhmonov, the author argues he would match or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
