Prates sets UFC records for fastest to 7 KO wins, 14 knockdowns, and 7 bonuses

Carlos Prates has achieved three historic UFC records in just eight fights. He became the fastest fighter in UFC history to record seven knockout victories, accomplishing this faster than heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. Only 2.29% of all UFC roster fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever reached seven knockouts. Prates also holds the record for most knockdowns in the shortest time, accumulating 14 in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone, needing only eight fights compared to the average of 15 fights. The post suggests Prates is on one of the top-three eight-fight runs in UFC history and positions a potential fight with Islam Makhachev as historically significant, arguing that victories over Garry, Prates, and Rakhmonov would put Makhachev on par with or above Jon Jones in the all-time rankings.
