Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, reaching the milestone in just eight fights. He surpassed heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, who needed nine fights. Only 62 of 2,710 UFC fighters (2.29%) have reached seven knockouts total, making the speed of Prates' achievement exceptional. He also holds the record for fastest 14 knockdowns in UFC history, accomplished in under 17 rounds, and the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes. Additionally, Prates earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average 15-fight pace. The post suggests Prates represents a potential elite opponent for Islam Makhachev.
