Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, accomplishing this in just eight fights. The previous closest were heavyweights Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, who needed nine fights. Out of 2,710 fighters who have competed in the UFC over 33 years, only 62 have achieved seven knockouts total, representing just 2.29% of all fighters. Prates also holds the UFC record for fastest 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds and 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, needing only eight fights while others averaged 15 fights for the same achievement. The post notes that Prates has 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 both Ian Garry and Prates (plus potentially Shavkat Rakhmonov), he would equal or surpass Jon Jones's legacy.
