Carlos Prates sets multiple UFC records with fastest knockout spree

Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, reaching the milestone in just eight fights. The previous record was held by heavyweights like Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos, who took nine fights. Prates also recorded the fastest 14 knockdowns in UFC history, achieving them in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in UFC history, requiring only eight fights compared to the average of 15. The post emphasizes that only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever accumulated seven knockouts. Prates recently knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, including one via leg kicks. The post concludes by suggesting that if Islam Makhachev defeats Garry and Prates, he would equal Jon Jones's legacy, and potentially surpass him with a win over Rakhmonov.
