Carlos Prates sets UFC record with fastest 7 knockouts in 8 fights

Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of 7 knockout victories in UFC history, doing so in just 8 fights. The previous fastest were heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, who needed 9 fights. Only 62 fighters out of 2,710 in UFC's 33-year history (2.29%) have achieved 7 knockouts total. Prates also holds the record for fastest 14 knockdowns in 17 rounds and fastest 7 Performance of the Night bonuses. He has knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, including finishing one with leg kicks. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates, he would equal Jon Jones's accomplishments, and if he also beats Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would surpass Jones.
