Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest seven-knockout streak in UFC history, accomplishing the feat in just eight fights. This surpasses previous records held by heavyweights Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, who needed nine fights. Prates also holds the record for fastest 14 knockdowns in UFC history, achieving this in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone in UFC history, needing only eight fights compared to the average of 15. The post notes that only 2.29% of UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever achieved seven knockouts. Prates has notably knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, including one via leg kicks. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats both Ian Garry and Prates, plus potentially Shavkat Rakhmonov, he could surpass Jon Jones as the greatest fighter of all time.
