Prates sets UFC records: fastest to 7 knockouts and 14 knockdowns in history

Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic UFC milestones in record speed. He became the fastest fighter ever to record seven knockout victories, accomplishing this in just eight fights, surpassing heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine bouts. Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever reached seven knockouts. Prates also holds the record for fastest to 14 knockdowns, achieving this in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest 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 15-fight average. The post notes Prates has consecutively knocked out two UFC champions who had never been finished before, and suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
