Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of 7 knockout victories in UFC history, accomplishing the feat in just 8 fights. The previous record holders were heavyweights Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez, who needed 9 fights. Only 2.29% of UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever achieved 7 knockouts in their careers. Prates also holds the record for fastest accumulation of 14 knockdowns in UFC history, achieving this in just 17 incomplete rounds, and the fastest to earn 7 Performance of the Night bonuses. He has knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would surpass Jon Jones as the greatest of all time.
