Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, doing so in just eight fights. This surpasses previous record holders Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez, both heavyweights who needed nine fights. Prates has also set the record for fastest to 14 knockdowns in UFC history, achieving this in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in history, requiring only eight fights compared to the average of 15. The post notes Prates recently knocked out two former UFC champions, Leon Edwards and another fighter, both of whom had never been knocked out before. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats fighters like Garry, Prates, and Rakhmonov, he could surpass Jon Jones's legacy.
