Carlos Prates sets UFC records for fastest seven knockouts and 14 knockdowns

Carlos Prates has established multiple historic UFC records with his recent performances. He achieved seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, reaching that milestone in just eight fights, surpassing heavyweights Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine. Only 62 fighters out of 2,710 in UFC history (2.29%) have ever reached seven knockouts, making the speed of Prates' achievement even more remarkable. He also recorded 14 knockdowns in the fastest time ever, accomplishing this in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, Prates earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone else, needing only eight fights compared to the typical 15 fights required. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy accomplishments.
