Carlos Prates sets multiple UFC finishing records in just 8 fights

Carlos Prates has achieved unprecedented finishing statistics in UFC history. He became the fastest fighter ever to record 7 knockout victories, accomplishing this in just 8 fights. The closest comparisons are Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, both heavyweights who needed 9 fights. Only 62 out of 2,710 fighters (2.29%) in UFC's 33-year history have even reached 7 knockouts. Prates also holds records for the fastest to 14 knockdowns (in only 17 incomplete rounds) and highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes. He earned 7 Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone, needing only 8 fights compared to the average 15. Prates has knocked out two recent UFC champions back-to-back, fighters who had never been knocked out before. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would match or surpass Jon Jones's legacy.
