Carlos Prates achieved the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, doing so in just eight fights, surpassing heavyweights like Dos Santos and Velasquez who needed nine. He also recorded the fastest 14 knockdowns in UFC history over 17 incomplete rounds, achieving the highest average knockdown percentage per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, Prates earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in UFC history, accomplishing this in eight fights compared to the average of 15 fights for other competitors. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates, he would equal Jon Jones's legacy, and if he also beats Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would surpass Jones. The author describes Prates as providing a historic scalp for Makhachev and states his performances are offsetting much of what the author considers poor UFC card quality this year.
