Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, reaching this milestone in just eight fights, surpassing heavyweights Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine. Out of 2,710 fighters in UFC's 33-year history, only 62 have reached seven knockouts, representing just 2.29% of all roster members. Prates also holds the record for fastest time to 14 knockdowns in UFC history, achieving this in only 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone in history, requiring only 8 fights compared to the average of 15. The analysis notes that Prates has knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, including one who fell from leg kicks. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Garry, Prates, and Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
