Carlos Prates has achieved several historic UFC milestones in just eight fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than any fighter in UFC history, accomplishing in eight bouts what took heavyweights like Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez nine fights. Prates also set the record for fastest to 14 knockdowns, achieving this in just 17 incomplete rounds, and for earning seven Performance of the Night bonuses. The post notes that only 2.29% of all fighters who have competed in the UFC's 33-year history have reached seven knockouts. Prates has consecutively knocked out two former UFC champions, both of whom had never been finished before. The author suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
