Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest seven knockouts in UFC history, reaching the milestone in just eight fights. The previous record holders were Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez, both heavyweights who needed nine fights. Of 2,710 fighters who have competed in the UFC over 33 years, only 62 (2.29%) have recorded seven knockouts. Prates has also achieved the fastest 14 knockdowns in UFC history across 17 incomplete rounds, the highest average knockdowns per 15 minutes in UFC history, and the fastest seven Performance of the Night bonuses. He has knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Garry, Prates, and Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones's legacy.
