Carlos Prates has reached seven UFC knockout victories faster than anyone in history, achieving it in just eight fights. The previous fastest were heavyweights Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez at nine fights. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing this in just 17 incomplete rounds for the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes. He earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone, needing only eight fights compared to the average 15 fights for other fighters. The post notes Prates has consecutively knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, including finishing one with leg kicks. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates, he would equal Jon Jones's legacy.
