Carlos Prates has achieved multiple UFC records with his knockout of Jack Della Maddalena, cementing one of the most dominant eight-fight runs in promotional history. Prates reached seven UFC knockout victories faster than any fighter in history, accomplishing it in just eight fights compared to nine fights for the previous record holders, both heavyweights. He also set the record for fastest to 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, achieving the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, Prates earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in only eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average of 15 fights needed. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates, he would equal Jon Jones' legacy, and adding a victory over Shavkat Rakhmonov would surpass it, potentially elevating Russian MMA above American MMA as Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov envisioned.
