Carlos Prates has shattered multiple UFC records during his eight-fight promotional run. He reached seven knockout victories faster than any fighter in UFC history, accomplishing this in just eight bouts compared to nine for heavyweights Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez. Prates has also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in only eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average fighter who typically needs 15 bouts. The post argues this represents one of the top three greatest eight-fight runs in UFC history, noting Prates has finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats both Ian Garry and Prates, it would equal Jon Jones' legacy, and defeating Shavkat Rakhmonov would surpass it.
