Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, doing so in just eight fights. The previous record holders were heavyweights who needed nine fights. Only 62 fighters out of 2,710 who have competed in the UFC over 33 years have achieved seven knockouts at all, making this just 2.29% of the roster. Prates also set the record for fastest 14 knockdowns in UFC history, accomplished in just 17 partial rounds, giving him the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone in UFC history, needing only eight fights compared to the average of 15. The post notes that Prates has knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, and suggests that defeating fighters like Garry, Prates, and Rakhmonov would elevate Islam Makhachev to Jon Jones's level or beyond.
