Carlos Prates has achieved three historic UFC records in just eight fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, surpassing even heavyweights like Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine fights. He accumulated 14 knockdowns in the fastest time ever, averaging the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. He also earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in record time, taking only eight fights compared to the average of 15 fights for other fighters. The post describes his eight-fight stretch as one of the top three brightest runs in UFC history, noting he has knocked out 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 match or exceed Jon Jones' legacy.
