Carlos Prates has achieved several unprecedented milestones in UFC history during his first eight fights with the promotion. He reached 7 knockout victories faster than any fighter in UFC history, accomplishing the feat in 8 fights compared to the previous record of 9 fights held by heavyweights Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, and doing so in lighter weight classes than Ngannou, McGregor, Silva, Pereira, and Topuria. He also recorded 14 knockdowns faster than anyone in history, achieving this in just 17 incomplete rounds with the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, Prates earned 7 Performance of the Night bonuses in record time, requiring only 8 fights compared to the average of 15 fights for other fighters. The analyst describes this as one of the top-3 eight-fight runs in UFC history, noting that Prates has knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been finished before, including one who was stopped by leg kicks while still in peak form. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones's legacy, and Russian MMA would surpass American MMA as Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov envisioned.
