Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, reaching that milestone in just eight fights. The next closest fighters are both heavyweights Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez, who achieved it in nine fights. Out of 2,710 fighters who have competed in the UFC over 33 years, only 62 have recorded seven knockouts, representing just 2.29% of the roster. Prates also holds the record for fastest to 14 knockdowns in UFC history, accomplishing this in approximately 17 rounds. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in history, doing so in eight fights compared to the average of 15 fights. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and then Prates, he would equal Jon Jones's legacy, and defeating Shavkat Rakhmonov after that would surpass it.
