Carlos Prates has established multiple historic UFC records in just eight fights. He achieved seven knockout victories faster than any fighter in UFC history, surpassing heavyweights JDS and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. Among 2,710 fighters who have competed in UFC over 33 years, only 62 (2.29%) have reached seven knockouts, making Prates' speed even more remarkable as he accomplished it faster than fighters like Ngannou, McGregor, Silva, Pereira, and Topuria. Additionally, Prates recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the fastest in UFC history, and has the highest average knockdowns per 15 minutes of fight time. He also earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the typical 15-fight average. The analysis describes this as one of the top three eight-fight runs in UFC history, noting that Prates knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, with one succumbing to leg kicks while still in peak form. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats fighters like Garry, Prates, and Rakhmonov, he could equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
