Diego Prates has achieved the fastest seven-knockout accumulation in UFC history, reaching the mark in just eight fights compared to the previous record holders Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights as heavyweights. Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever recorded seven knockouts in the promotion. Prates also holds the record for fastest 14 knockdowns achieved in 17 incomplete rounds, the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history, and fastest seven Performance of the Night bonuses earned. While other fighters averaged 15 fights to earn seven bonuses, Prates needed only eight. The analysis suggests his eight-fight run ranks in the top three greatest starts in UFC history. The post notes that if Islam Makhachev defeats both Garry and Prates, he would equal Jon Jones' legacy, and defeating Rakhmonov would surpass it.
