Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, doing so in just eight fights. The closest competitors are heavyweights Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez, who needed nine fights. Only 62 fighters out of 2,710 in UFC's 33-year history have reached seven knockouts, representing just 2.29% of all roster members. Prates has also set records for the fastest 14 knockdowns in 17 incomplete rounds and the fastest seven Performance of the Night bonuses. He has consecutively knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. The post suggests this represents one of the top three eight-fight runs in UFC history and positions Prates as a potential opponent for Islam Makhachev.
