Carlos Prates sets UFC records for fastest seven knockouts and highest knockdown rate

Carlos Prates has achieved seven knockout victories in just eight UFC fights, the fastest in promotional history, surpassing previous records held by heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. Only 2.29% of UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever recorded seven knockouts in their careers. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the fastest in UFC history with the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, when other fighters typically need 15 bouts to achieve seven bonuses. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates, followed by Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would surpass Jon Jones's legacy.
