Carlos Prates has achieved multiple unprecedented UFC records during his eight-fight run. He became the fastest fighter in UFC history to record seven knockout victories, doing so in just eight fights, faster than heavyweights like Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos who needed nine. He also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. Additionally, Prates earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone, doing it in eight fights while others typically required 15. The analyst argues this represents one of the top three greatest eight-fight stretches in UFC history, with Prates knocking out two former UFC champions who had never been finished before. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
