Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, reaching this milestone in just eight fights. The previous record holders 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 (2.29%) have achieved seven knockouts total. Prates has also recorded the fastest 14 knockdowns in UFC history, accomplishing this in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him 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 history, requiring only eight fights compared to the average of 15. The post notes that Prates knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, with one falling from leg kicks. The author suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates (and potentially Shavkat Rakhmonov), he would equal or surpass Jon Jones's legacy.
