Carlos Prates has set several historic UFC records in just eight fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, achieving this in eight bouts compared to nine for the previous record holders Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the fastest accumulation in UFC history and the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone, doing so in eight fights versus an average of 15 fights for other fighters. The post characterizes Prates' eight-fight run as one of the top three most spectacular in UFC history and suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
