Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic UFC milestones in just eight fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, surpassing heavyweights like Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. Only 2.29% of fighters who have competed in UFC over 33 years have accumulated seven knockouts. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 rounds, the highest average rate in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, when the average fighter requires 15 bouts. The post argues that if Islam Makhachev defeats opponents like Garry, Prates, and Rakhmonov, he would rival Jon Jones as the greatest of all time.
