Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, accomplishing the feat in just eight fights. Only Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos previously reached seven knockouts in nine fights, both as heavyweights. Only 2.29% of UFC fighters (62 of 2,710) have ever recorded seven knockouts in the organization. Prates also holds the record for fastest 14 knockdowns achieved in just 17 incomplete rounds, representing the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average 15 fights required. He consecutively knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been finished before, including one via leg kicks. The post positions a potential future bout with Islam Makhachev as historically significant.
