Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, reaching the milestone in just eight fights. Only Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, both heavyweights, came close with nine fights. Prates also holds the record for fastest to 14 knockdowns in UFC history, accomplishing this in under 17 full rounds, and the highest average knockdowns per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in UFC history, needing only eight fights compared to the average of 15. Prates has finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, including one who was stopped by leg kicks. Analysts suggest that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would match or surpass Jon Jones's legacy.
