Carlos Prates has set a historic UFC record by earning seven knockout victories in just eight fights, the fastest pace in promotional history. The previous record holders were Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, both heavyweights who achieved this in nine fights. Only 62 fighters out of 2,710 who have competed in UFC's 33-year history have reached seven knockouts, representing just 2.29 percent. Prates also holds records for the fastest 14 knockdowns in UFC history, accomplished in just 17 incomplete rounds, and the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he became the fastest fighter to earn seven Performance of the Night bonuses, doing so in 8 fights versus the average of 15. The post suggests Prates represents a potential historic challenge for Islam Makhachev.
