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

Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic UFC milestones in just eight fights. He recorded the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, reaching that mark faster than any fighter including heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, who both needed nine fights. Prates also achieved the fastest 14 knockdowns in UFC history, accomplishing this in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time in promotional history. Additionally, he became the fastest fighter to earn seven Performance of the Night bonuses, doing so in eight fights compared to the average of 15 fights for other athletes. The analysis notes that only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever achieved seven knockouts in the promotion. Prates knocked out two former UFC champions consecutively, both of whom had never been knocked out before. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would surpass Jon Jones in all-time greatness.
