Carlos Prates has achieved remarkable statistical milestones in his UFC career to date. He earned seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing this in just eight fights compared to nine for the closest competitors. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in under 17 complete rounds, the fastest accumulation in promotional history and the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he collected seven Performance of the Night bonuses in only eight bouts, nearly twice as fast as the historical average of 15 fights. The analysis identifies Prates' eight-fight stretch as one of the top three most impressive runs in UFC history. He has finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out previously, and notably stopped one via leg kicks. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or potentially surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
