Carlos Prates has achieved unprecedented milestones in his UFC career through just eight fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing the feat in eight bouts compared to the previous record of nine fights held by heavyweights like Cain Velasquez. Only 2.29% of all fighters who have competed in the UFC (62 out of 2,710) have ever reached seven knockouts. Prates also holds the record for fastest to 14 knockdowns, achieving this in just 17 incomplete rounds, and the highest average knockdowns per 15 minutes. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in history, needing only eight fights compared to the average of 15. He has knocked out two former UFC champions consecutively, both of whom had never been finished before. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would match or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
