Carlos Prates has set multiple historic UFC records in just 8 fights. He achieved 7 knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, including faster than heavyweights like Cain Velasquez. Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever reached 7 knockouts in the promotion. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he earned 7 Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter ever, doing so in 8 fights compared to the average of 15. He consecutively knocked out two UFC champions who had never been finished before. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
