Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic UFC milestones in just eight fights. He became the fastest fighter ever to record seven knockout victories in the promotion, accomplishing the feat faster than any other weight class including heavyweights Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos who needed nine fights. Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters in history have reached seven knockouts. Prates also set the record for fastest accumulation of 14 knockdowns, achieving it in just 17 incomplete rounds with the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average fighter. The analyst argues that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates or Shavkat Rakhmonov, and potentially Ilia Topuria, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
