Carlos Prates has set multiple UFC records in just eight fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing this in eight bouts compared to nine for the previous record holders (both heavyweights). He also recorded 14 knockdowns in the fastest time ever, achieving this in just 17 incomplete rounds with the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes. Additionally, Prates earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone, needing only eight fights compared to the average of 15. The post describes his eight-fight run as one of the top three most spectacular starts in UFC history, noting he knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been finished before. The author suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates, he would equal Jon Jones' legacy.
