Carlos Prates has achieved three unprecedented records in UFC history during his first eight fights in the organization. He recorded the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, accomplishing this in just eight fights compared to nine fights for the previous record holders Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos, both heavyweights. Prates also achieved the fastest accumulation of 14 knockdowns in UFC history, doing so in just 17 incomplete rounds, and holds the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter in UFC history, requiring only eight fights compared to an average of 15 fights for other fighters to reach seven bonuses. The analysis describes Prates' eight-fight run as one of the top three most spectacular stretches in UFC history, noting he consecutively knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
