Carlos Prates achieved several unprecedented UFC milestones in just eight fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, surpassing heavyweights like Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 of 2,710) have ever reached seven knockouts. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. He earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average of 15 fights needed. The post describes this as one of the top-three eight-fight runs in UFC history, noting Prates consecutively knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been finished. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats opponents like Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
