Carlos Prates has established multiple UFC records during his eight-fight promotional run, all ending in knockout victories. He reached seven UFC knockouts faster than anyone in history, accomplishing the feat in eight bouts compared to nine for nearest competitors Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, both heavyweights. Prates achieved 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, setting the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. He also earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter, requiring only eight fights versus the average of 15. The analysis noted Prates finished two consecutive UFC champions who had never been knocked out previously, with one succumbing to leg kicks. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would match or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
