Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, reaching the milestone in just eight fights—faster than any fighter including heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, who did it in nine. Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 of 2,710) have ever recorded seven knockouts in the organization. Prates also holds the record for fastest accumulation of 14 knockdowns in UFC history, achieving this in just 17 incomplete rounds, and the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in history, doing so in eight fights compared to the typical average of 15 fights. Prates has consecutively knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy, with Rakhmonov (20-0, 19 finishes) identified as the ultimate challenge.
