Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic UFC milestones in just eight fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing in eight fights what took previous record holders nine fights, and only 2.29% of all UFC fighters have ever reached seven knockouts. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in history, achieving it in eight fights while others averaged 15 fights. The post describes Prates' eight-fight run as one of the top three most spectacular stretches in UFC history, noting he has finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
