Carlos Prates has established several unprecedented UFC records during his first eight fights with the promotion. He achieved seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, reaching the mark in just eight bouts compared to nine for the nearest competitors who were both heavyweights. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in under 17 total rounds, the fastest rate in UFC history and the highest average knockdowns per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in just eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the typical 15-fight average for that achievement. The analysis noted that only 2.29% of all UFC fighters have ever reached seven knockouts, making Prates' accomplishment even more remarkable. He has finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, including one who was stopped by leg kicks. The post suggested that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
