Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest seven knockout victories in UFC history, reaching the milestone in just eight fights. This surpasses previous records held by heavyweights like Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos, who needed nine fights. Prates also holds the record for the fastest to accumulate 14 knockdowns, achieving this in just 17 incomplete rounds, and has the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in just eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average 15 fights required by other fighters. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats opponents like Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he could be considered equal to or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
