Carlos Prates has achieved several historic UFC milestones faster than any fighter in promotional history. He reached seven knockout victories in just eight fights, surpassing heavyweights like Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine. Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever achieved seven knockouts. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in under 17 total rounds, the highest rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. He earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average 15 fights required. The analysis positioned Prates' eight-fight streak among the top three runs in UFC history, noting he defeated two recent UFC champions who had never been knocked out. If Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates (plus potentially Shavkat Rakhmonov), the piece suggests he would rival Jon Jones' legacy.
