Carlos Prates has achieved multiple UFC records in just eight fights, establishing one of the top three greatest eight-fight runs in company history. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing the feat in eight bouts compared to nine for nearest competitors Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos, both heavyweights. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in the fastest time ever, achieving this in just 17 incomplete rounds—the highest average rate of knockdowns per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter, doing so in eight fights compared to the typical average of 15 fights. Prates has knocked out two former UFC champions back-to-back, fighters who had never been finished before. The post suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would equal or surpass Jon Jones' legacy accomplishments.
