Carlos Prates has set several historic benchmarks in just eight UFC fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing the feat in eight bouts, ahead of heavyweights Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos, who each needed nine. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in under 17 full rounds, the highest rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in just eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average pace of 15 fights. The post describes his recent run as one of the top three eight-fight stretches in UFC history, noting that he finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Prates, Ian Garry, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
