Carlos Prates has established multiple UFC records through just eight octagon appearances. He reached seven knockout victories faster than any fighter in UFC history, achieving the milestone in eight bouts compared to nine for the previous record holders (Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, both heavyweights). Prates also set the record for fastest to 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, establishing the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in record time, requiring only eight fights compared to the typical 15 bouts needed by other fighters. The post notes that only 62 fighters out of 2,710 in UFC history (2.29%) have achieved seven knockouts. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Prates along with Ian Garry and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
