Carlos Prates has achieved several historic UFC records during his eight-fight run in the promotion. He became the fastest fighter in UFC history to record seven knockout victories, accomplishing this in just eight fights, surpassing heavyweights Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. Out of 2,710 fighters who have competed in the UFC over 33 years, only 62 (2.29%) have even achieved seven knockouts total. Prates also set the record for fastest accumulation of 14 knockdowns in UFC history, doing so in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. Additionally, he became the fastest to earn seven Performance of the Night bonuses, needing only eight fights compared to the average of 15 fights for other fighters. The analysis describes this as one of the top three eight-fight runs in UFC history, noting Prates has knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats fighters like Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he could surpass Jon Jones's legacy.
