Carlos Prates has set multiple UFC records in his first eight promotional fights. He is the fastest fighter ever to reach seven knockout victories in the UFC, achieving this in eight fights compared to nine for the closest competitors (Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez, both heavyweights). Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever recorded seven knockouts. Prates has also registered the most knockdowns per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history, accumulating 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in history, doing so in eight fights versus the average of 15. The post notes that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and then Prates, it would represent a historically significant achievement for the lightweight champion.
