Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, reaching the milestone in just eight fights. He surpassed previous record holders Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, both heavyweights who needed nine fights. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter ever, doing so in eight fights compared to the historical average of 15. The analysis notes that only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 of 2,710) have ever accumulated seven knockouts. Prates recently defeated two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
