Carlos Prates has achieved several historic UFC milestones at an unprecedented pace. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing the feat in just eight fights, surpassing heavyweights Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine. He also accumulated 14 knockdowns faster than any fighter ever, doing so in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. Additionally, Prates earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in record time, requiring only eight fights compared to the average of 15 fights for other fighters. The post notes that only 2.29% of all UFC fighters have ever reached seven knockouts, making Prates' achievement even more remarkable. He has consecutively knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. The analysis suggests Prates represents one of the top three most impressive eight-fight runs in UFC history.
