Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic UFC records in just eight fights. He became the fastest fighter in UFC history to earn seven knockout victories, accomplishing this faster than heavyweights like Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. Prates also recorded the fastest accumulation of 14 knockdowns in UFC history, achieving this in just 17 incomplete rounds, and holds the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he became the fastest to earn seven Performance of the Night bonuses, doing so in eight fights compared to the average of 15 fights for other fighters. The Brazilian has notably knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been finished before, with one being stopped by leg kicks. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev can defeat Ian Garry and Prates, he would equal Jon Jones's legacy.
