Carlos Prates has set three major UFC records in just eight fights. He is the fastest fighter in UFC history to reach seven knockout victories, achieving the mark in eight bouts, faster than heavyweights like Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who did it in nine. He also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in history, requiring only eight fights compared to the average of 15 bouts. The post also noted that Prates has finished two former UFC champions consecutively, both of whom had never been knocked out before. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would surpass Jon Jones in the GOAT conversation.
