Carlos Prates has achieved several unprecedented UFC records in his first eight fights with the promotion. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing this in eight fights compared to nine for the nearest competitors, both heavyweights. He also recorded 14 knockdowns faster than anyone in UFC history, doing so in under 17 full rounds, establishing the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, Prates earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in history, requiring eight fights while others averaged 15 bouts to reach that milestone. The analyst called this one of the top three eight-fight runs in UFC history, noting Prates knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. The post suggested that if Islam Makhachev defeats Garry and Prates, he would equal Jon Jones, and surpass him with an additional victory over Shavkat Rakhmonov, potentially establishing Russian MMA superiority over American MMA.
