Carlos Prates has set multiple historic UFC records in remarkable fashion, achieving seven knockout victories faster than anyone in promotional history at just eight fights. He also reached 14 knockdowns faster than any fighter in UFC history, accomplishing this in under 17 full rounds, and has the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, Prates earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in just eight fights, while other fighters typically need 15 fights to achieve seven bonuses. The post notes that Prates has consecutively knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, and his eight-fight run ranks among the top three most spectacular debuts in UFC history. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry and Prates, he would equal Jon Jones's legacy.
