Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic UFC milestones in just 8 fights. He reached 7 knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, surpassing heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed 9 fights. Only 62 of 2,710 fighters (2.29%) in UFC's 33-year history have achieved 7 knockouts. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest average rate per 15 minutes in UFC history, and earned 7 Performance of the Night bonuses in 8 fights while most fighters need 15 bouts. He has 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 Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal Jon Jones' legacy, and potentially surpass it by adding Rakhmonov.
