Carlos Prates has achieved three historic UFC milestones at unprecedented speed during his eight-fight promotional run. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing this in just eight fights compared to heavyweights Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez who needed nine. Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 of 2,710) have ever reached seven knockouts. Prates also accumulated 14 knockdowns in the fastest time ever, doing so in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him 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 anyone, requiring only eight fights compared to the typical 15 fights others needed. The post describes this as one of the top three most spectacular eight-fight runs in UFC history, noting that Prates finished 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 rival or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
