Carlos Prates sets UFC record for fastest to seven knockout wins

Carlos Prates achieved seven knockout victories in UFC in just eight fights, the fastest in promotion history. The previous record was held by heavyweights Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, who needed nine bouts. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in under 17 rounds, the highest rate per 15 minutes in UFC history, and earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, far quicker than the average 15 bouts needed. He has finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates, plus potentially Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would surpass Jon Jones in legacy.
