Carlos Prates has achieved the fastest accumulation of seven UFC knockout victories in history, reaching the milestone in just eight fights, surpassing heavyweight fighters like Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine. He also recorded 14 knockdowns in only 17 incomplete rounds, the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, Prates earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in UFC history, requiring only eight fights compared to the typical 15-fight average. The analyst noted that Prates has finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. The post described Prates' eight-fight run as one of the top three most explosive starts in UFC history. The analyst suggested that if Islam Makhachev defeats opponents like Garry, Prates, Morales or Topuria, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he could surpass Jon Jones in all-time greatness.
