Carlos Prates has achieved historic UFC milestones at an unprecedented pace. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, doing so in just eight fights compared to Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. He also recorded 14 knockdowns in the fastest time ever, averaging the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history at 17 incomplete rounds. Additionally, Prates earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in just eight fights, while other fighters typically need 15 fights to accumulate seven bonuses. The post notes he has knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been finished before. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
