Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic UFC records in just eight fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, surpassing heavyweights JDS and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have achieved seven knockouts in their UFC careers. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the fastest in UFC history, giving him the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter, needing only eight fights compared to the average of 15. The post notes Prates knocked out two former UFC champions consecutively, both of whom had never been knocked out before. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and potentially Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would rival or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
