Carlos Prates sets UFC records with fastest 7 knockouts and 14 knockdowns

Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic UFC records in just eight fights. He earned seven knockout victories faster than any fighter in UFC history, surpassing heavyweights like Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. Out of 2,710 fighters over 33 years, only 62 (2.29%) have ever reached seven UFC knockouts. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the fastest in UFC history and the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, when the average fighter needs 15 fights to accumulate seven bonuses. He has finished two former UFC champions back-to-back, both by methods they had never been stopped with before. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates (plus potentially Shavkat Rakhmonov), he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
