Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of 7 knockout wins in UFC history, doing so in just 8 fights. The previous record holders, Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, both heavyweights, needed 9 fights. Out of 2,710 fighters in UFC's 33-year history, only 62 (2.29%) have achieved 7 knockouts total. Prates also holds the record for fastest accumulation of 14 knockdowns in UFC history, achieving this in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned 7 Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone in UFC history, requiring only 8 fights compared to the average of 15 fights. The post describes his recent run as one of the top three most impressive 8-fight streaks in UFC history, noting he has finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. The author suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates, he would equal Jon Jones's legacy, and surpass it with an additional win over Shavkat Rakhmonov.
