Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic UFC milestones in just eight fights.

Prates also holds the record for fastest accumulation of 14 knockdowns in UFC history, achieving this in just 17 incomplete rounds, and the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in history, doing so in eight fights compared to the average of 15 fights. The post notes that Prates has finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, and suggests he represents a historic challenge for Islam Makhachev.
