Carlos Prates has established multiple UFC records 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. Of the 2,710 fighters who have competed in UFC over 33 years, only 62 (2.29%) have achieved seven knockouts total. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest average 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 who needs 15 bouts. The analyst describes this as one of the top three eight-fight runs in UFC history, noting that Prates finished two former UFC champions 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.
