Prates sets UFC records for fastest 7 knockouts and 14 knockdowns

Carlos Prates has achieved multiple UFC records in just eight fights. He became the fastest fighter in UFC history to register seven knockout victories, accomplishing the feat faster than heavyweights like Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos, who needed nine fights. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest average per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in history, needing only eight bouts compared to the average of 15. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would surpass Jon Jones in the GOAT conversation.
