Carlos Prates has achieved several historic UFC milestones in remarkably short time. He reached 7 knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing it in just 8 fights compared to the previous fastest of 9 fights by Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez. Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever reached 7 knockouts in the promotion. Prates also achieved 14 knockdowns faster than anyone in UFC history, doing so in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he earned 7 Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter ever, requiring only 8 fights compared to the average of 15. The post notes he knocked out two former UFC champions back-to-back, both of whom had never been knocked out before. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
