Carlos Prates sets multiple UFC records with seven knockout victories

Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, accomplishing this in just eight fights. Previous record holders were Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, both heavyweights who needed nine fights. Only 62 fighters out of 2,710 in UFC's 33-year history (2.29%) have even reached seven knockouts. Prates also holds the record for fastest 14 knockdowns in UFC history, achieved in just 17 incomplete rounds, and the fastest seven Performance of the Night bonuses. The post notes that Prates knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, including one with leg kicks. The author suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats opponents like Garry, Prates, and Rakhmonov, he could surpass Jon Jones in legacy.
