Carlos Prates sets multiple UFC records with seven knockout wins in eight fights

Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, doing so in just eight fights. The previous record holders were heavyweights like Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez, who needed nine fights. Only 62 fighters out of 2,710 who have competed in the UFC over 33 years have reached seven knockouts, representing just 2.29% of all fighters. Prates has also recorded the fastest 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 became the fastest to earn seven Performance of the Night bonuses, doing so in eight fights compared to an average of 15 fights for other fighters. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats fighters like Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he could be considered equal to or surpass Jon Jones in all-time greatness.
