Carlos Prates has achieved several historic UFC milestones in just eight fights. He is the fastest fighter ever to accumulate seven knockout victories in the UFC, doing so faster than heavyweights like Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos who needed nine fights. Prates recorded 14 knockdowns in only 17 incomplete rounds, the highest rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. He also became the fastest to earn seven Performance of the Night bonuses, requiring only eight fights compared to the average 15 fights for other fighters. The post describes Prates' run as one of the top three eight-fight stretches in UFC history, noting he consecutively knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been finished before. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
