Carlos Prates has established multiple UFC records in just eight fights, including the fastest accumulation of seven knockout victories in UFC history, achieved in eight bouts compared to nine for the nearest competitors (both heavyweights). He also holds the record for fastest accumulation of 14 knockdowns in under 17 rounds and the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. Additionally, Prates earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than anyone in UFC history, achieving it in eight fights while others averaged 15 fights. The post describes his run as one of the top three eight-fight stretches in UFC history, noting he has finished two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before. The author suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal Jon Jones' legacy and potentially surpass it.
