Carlos Prates has achieved historic UFC milestones, becoming the fastest fighter to accumulate seven knockout victories in just eight fights. He surpassed heavyweights Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, who needed nine fights to reach seven knockouts. Only 62 of 2,710 fighters in UFC's 33-year history (2.29%) have reached seven knockouts total. Prates also set the record for fastest 14 knockdowns in UFC history, accomplishing this in just 17 incomplete rounds, and earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights when others typically need 15 fights. He recently knocked out two former UFC champions, both for the first time in their careers, including finishing one with leg kicks. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
