Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic UFC records in just 8 fights. He is the fastest fighter ever to accumulate 7 knockout victories in UFC history, doing so in 8 fights compared to 9 for nearest competitors Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos, both heavyweights. He also holds the record for fastest to 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. Additionally, Prates earned 7 Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone, requiring only 8 fights compared to an average of 15 for other fighters. The analysis notes that out of 2,710 fighters in UFC's 33-year history, only 62 (2.29%) have achieved 7 knockouts. He has consecutively knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Garry, Prates, and Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones's legacy.
