Carlos Prates has achieved seven knockout victories in the UFC faster than anyone in history, doing so in just eight fights. The closest to him are Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez, both heavyweights who needed nine bouts. Only 62 fighters out of 2,710 in UFC history have reached seven knockouts, making it a rare achievement. Prates also holds records for the fastest accumulation of 14 knockdowns in UFC history, achieved in just 17 incomplete rounds, and the fastest accumulation of seven Performance of the Night bonuses. The post describes Prates as one of the brightest eight-fight runs in UFC history and suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would surpass Jon Jones in greatness.
