Prates has established multiple UFC historical records during his first eight fights in the organization. He achieved seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, reaching this milestone in just eight bouts compared to nine fights for the previous record holders, both heavyweights. Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 of 2,710) have ever recorded seven knockouts in the promotion. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns faster than any fighter in history, accomplishing this in under 17 rounds, giving him the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in record time, requiring only eight fights while other fighters averaged 15 bouts to reach seven bonuses. The analysis describes this as one of the top three eight-fight runs in UFC history, noting Prates knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
