Carlos Prates achieved multiple historic UFC milestones in just eight fights, reaching seven knockout victories faster than any fighter in promotional history, surpassing heavyweights like Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine bouts. He also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the fastest in UFC history and the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes. Additionally, Prates earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average 15 fights required. Only 2.29% of UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever accumulated seven knockouts. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he could rival or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
