Carlos Prates has established several UFC records during his first eight fights with the promotion. He achieved seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, requiring only eight bouts compared to nine for the nearest competitors, both heavyweights JDS and Cain Velasquez. Out of 2,710 fighters who have competed in the UFC over 33 years, only 62 have reached seven knockouts, representing just 2.29% of all fighters. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns faster than any fighter in UFC history, accomplishing this in just 17 incomplete rounds and achieving the highest average percentage of knockdowns per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in record time, needing only eight fights compared to the average of 15 required by other fighters. The post describes this as one of the top three most spectacular eight-fight runs in UFC history, noting that Prates has finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before.
