Carlos Prates has achieved several unprecedented UFC records during his first eight fights in the promotion. He became the fastest fighter in UFC history to record seven knockout victories, accomplishing this in just 8 fights compared to the previous record of 9 fights held by heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in only 17 incomplete rounds, the highest rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. Additionally, he earned 7 Performance of the Night bonuses in just 8 fights, while other fighters average 15 bouts to achieve the same number of bonuses. The analysis notes that only 2.29% of UFC fighters ever achieve 7 knockouts in the promotion. Prates consecutively knocked out two recent UFC champions, Jack Della Maddalena and Neil Magny, who had never been knocked out before. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
