Carlos Prates has achieved several historic UFC milestones in just eight fights. He accumulated seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, surpassing heavyweight legends like Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. He also recorded 14 knockdowns in under 17 total rounds, the fastest rate in UFC history and the highest average per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, Prates earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter, needing only eight bouts compared to the typical 15. The post describes his run as one of the top three eight-fight stretches in UFC history, noting he knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. Analysts suggest that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
