Carlos Prates has achieved unprecedented milestones in UFC history during his first eight fights with the promotion. He has earned 7 knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, surpassing even heavyweights like Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed 9 fights. Prates recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. He also earned 7 Performance of the Night bonuses in only 8 fights, nearly twice as fast as the average 15 fights needed. The analysis notes that Prates has knocked out two former UFC champions back-to-back, including finishing one with leg kicks. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would surpass Jon Jones's legacy, with Rakhmonov being the "final boss" due to his 20-0 record with 19 finishes.
