Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, reaching the milestone in only eight fights. This surpasses previous records held by heavyweight fighters Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, who needed nine fights. Prates has also set the record for the fastest accumulation of 14 knockdowns in UFC history, accomplished 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 in eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average 15 fights needed by other fighters. The post notes that only 2.29% of UFC roster fighters (62 out of 2,710) have achieved seven knockouts in their careers. Prates recently knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, including one who was finished with leg kicks.
