Carlos Prates sets multiple UFC records with seventh knockout in eight fights

Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockouts in UFC history, reaching this milestone in just eight fights. The previous record holders were Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, both heavyweights who needed nine fights. Prates has also recorded 14 knockdowns in 17 incomplete rounds, the highest average rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history, and earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone else. The post notes that only 2.29% of all UFC roster members (62 out of 2,710 over 33 years) have achieved seven knockouts total. His recent victories include knockouts of former UFC champions using diverse techniques including elbows, low kicks, knees, kicks, and punches. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would surpass Jon Jones as the greatest of all time.
