Prates sets UFC records for fastest to 7 KOs, 14 knockdowns, and 7 bonuses

Carlos Prates has achieved three historic UFC milestones in just eight fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, surpassing heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. He also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, Prates earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, while most fighters require an average of 15 fights to reach that total. The analysis notes that only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have even reached seven knockouts in their entire careers. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates, he would equal Jon Jones' legacy, and defeating Shavkat Rakhmonov afterward would surpass it.
