Carlos Prates has achieved historic knockout metrics faster than any fighter in UFC history. He reached seven UFC knockout victories in just eight fights, surpassing heavyweights like Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. Out of 2,710 fighters in UFC's 33-year history, only 62 have accumulated seven knockouts, representing just 2.29 percent. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in under 17 rounds, the highest rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history, and earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights when most fighters require an average of 15 bouts to reach that milestone. He has knocked out two former UFC champions, both for the first time in their careers. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would rival Jon Jones' legacy.
